Trio give Triskel a masterclass in jazz

The superb trio of Airelle Besson, Sebastian Sternal and Jonas Burgwinkel at Triskel provided an example of the current rude health of European jazz, writes Philip Watson.

The spirit of European cooperation was alive and well at Triskel Christchurch in Cork on Sunday afternoon when French trumpet player Besson and German keyboardist and drummer Sternal and Burgwinkel – a trio that had first met in a band led by Italian bass player Riccardo Del Fra – were presented by enterprising Irish promoters Music Network.
