 This music document is an additional pillar, which is set by a Swiss Jazz musician in the Swiss Jazz scene. Albert Landolt, flutist with a degree by the academy of music and saxophonist educated in the United States created here a piece, which attests for musical maturity and individuality. Based on Classical Modern Jazz (Bebop, Hardbop) he acts, interacts via original composition, based on forms, accord progressions and melody structures, he exhausts formal, harmonic and melodic aspects via complex polymetric/polyrhythmic structures, bi- and tri-tonal harmonic and complex melodies. The result does not appeal to be academic (Albert Landolt is founder and leader of WIAM, JazzRockPop-Academy Winterthur), but expressive, meaningful, and due to its strong reference to Classic Jazz never random or superficial. Beside pieces with alto saxophone and soprano saxophone 2 compositions only sound the flute, which introduces a lyric, solemn sound. Albert Landolt played tours and concerts with Art Lande, Miroslav Vitous, Phil Markowitz, Bob Mover, Glen Ferris, Benny Bailey and others. The Italian contrabassist Furio di Castri and the drummer Bill Elgart optimally complement the trio. Furio di Castri, one of the renowned bassists of Italy, was a member of the first combo of Michel Petrucciani, played among others with bands of Richard Galliano, Joe Lovano, Joe Henderson, Paul Bley, Enrico Rava. His walking lines and bass soli are excellent examples of successful trio work. The Cambridge, Mass. US born drummer Bill Elgart connects with his subtle play mainly with Tony Williams and Paul Motian, whose achievements he internalized and refined to its own language. He annotates and plays around the beat, weaves complementary rhythms in and structures his filigree work with extremely differentiated dynamics. In New York he played with Sam Rivers, Paul and Carla Bley, then with Roswell Rudd and John Tchicai in the legendary New York Art Quartet. Among others he participated in tours of Kenny Wheeler, Eddie Gomez, Charlie Mariano, Arrigo Cappelletti, Franco D Andrea.
