Never-released archival live recording made in Switzerland in 1995 by this visionary Jazz / Improv / Creative / Experimental music ensemble.
TST, Le Tout Sur Le Tout was founded in January 1994 by Jacques Demierre during the New Jazz Festival On Tour ’94, held in Switzerland.
The group consisted of bandleader/composer Jacques Demierre (piano, keyboard), Sylvie Courvoisier (piano, keyboard), Gergely Suto (clarinets), Adrien Kessler (double bass, voice), and Andreas Valvini (drums), who was replaced by Jim Meneses in 1995.
TST’s musicians came from a variety of backgrounds, including Jazz, Contemporary music, Rock, and Experimental music.
The music TST created was based on the listening skills, openness and curiosity of its musicians, combining the power of rock and the energy of improvised music, experimentation and song, strict writing and free improvisation, electric and acoustic sound.
All the compositions (with the exception of one by Adrien Kessler) are based on Jacques Demierre‘s compositions, reworked live in collaboration with the musicians.
