Yorgos Dimitriadis - Drums

Editor's info:
Piano and drums duos have a long history in Jazz, dating back to when the piano's melodic function and the drum's rhythmic underpinning were often a nightclub’s preferred musical accompaniment. With percussiveness part of his style and conviction that a drummer could take on lyrical functions, Cecil Taylor turned this convention on its head, most memorably in 1988 Berlin, partnering drummers such as Han Bennink and Gunter 'Baby' Sommer.
Also in Berlin, but generations removed from these conventions, are pianist Achim Kaufmann and drummer Yorgos Dimitriadis, protagonists of this fine session. Aachen-native Kaufmann and Thessaloniki-born Dimitriadis both arrived in the German capital early in this century after extensive musical experience in Amsterdam and Paris respectively. In the midst of exploring the limits of improvisation with many of the city's residents, most notably in the pianist's case with saxophonist Frank Gratkowski and bassist Wilbert de Joode, and the drummer's with trumpeter Axel Dörner and saxophonist Floros Floridis, Kaufmann played with drummers like Tony Buck and Christian Lillinger and Dimitriadis with keyboardist Antonis Anissegos and accordionist/electronic musician Andrea Parkins. The two first met at different gigs and, expanding the dual concept, have worked together since 2017. "By thinking of the duo as one instrument and sometimes reversing the instruments' roles, our focus is to create our own amalgam of textures, resonances and electronic timbres by exploring and extending many new sound possibilities" explains Dimitriadis. Deciding to test these theories, the two booked a studio where the four selections which make up Nowhere One Goes were created. All come from one long session where, as the drummer says, "music was created in the moment." The challenge, he adds, was "choosing what to bring to the foreground, as if using an auditory magnifying glass."
