PaPaJo

PaPaJo is the trio of German trombonist Paul Hubweber, drummer and percussionist Paul Lovens, and British double bassist John Edwards. The group emerged in the early 2000s and became a distinctive voice in European free improvisation.

The double album Spielä (CS340) documents concerts in Zagreb in May 2003 and Aachen in May 2009. Its two discs capture different stages of the trio's development.

Rather than functioning as soloist and rhythm section, the three musicians work as equal partners, moving between agile exchanges, sustained textures and unexpected changes in direction.
