*100 copies limited edition* 577 Records proudly presents Turn of Events, the debut album from the Matthieu Mazué Trio—a bold new project led by up-and-coming pianist Matthieu Mazué, based between Zurich and New York. Featuring trumpeter Diego Hedez and drummer Francisco Mela, the trio brings together three distinct and powerful improvisers in a deep exploration of sonic freedom and form.
In a striking artistic decision, the trio performs without a bassist—liberating the piano from its traditional harmonic role and creating space for greater transparency, nuance, and spontaneity. This format shifts the trio’s center of gravity, placing the evolving dialogue between piano and drums at the heart of the sound. The trumpet moves fluidly within this open terrain, supported by elastic, ever-shifting rhythmic interplay.
This release marks Matthieu Mazué’s debut on 577 Records. Diego Hedez, a participant in the label’s Sounds of Freedom residency in 2022, contributes a fresh, compelling voice on trumpet. Francisco Mela, a core artist on the label and master drummer, brings his dynamic creativity and deep musical insight to the trio.
