Double Windsor is a rich and exciting debut – a just off-center, and
wonderfully fertile version of what a more orthodox piano trio might
be. Courvoisier’s nine compositions fuel this idiosyncratic point of
view. There’s the through-composed. There’s material that straight away opens
up to improvisation. There are melodies in the jazz tradition and spare, barely
notated bits that fuel complete freedom.

Nothing stays still for long; there’s a lot of writing. The pieces are often
packed with jumpy lines and little detours (Courvoisier calls them
“interruptions”). The opener, and title piece, nearly contains it all: the
dense, driving pulse (an ostinato in 10/8), constant forward motion, tightly
wound figures, and a series of sections framed by improvisation. Each motif and
mood feels embedded in the overarching design, rather than – again, in
conventional jazz parlance – returning to a head.

This push and pull, this elastic relationship to time, form and drama seems
second nature to Gress and Wollesen. The little pathways between a line and an
improvisation aren’t stitched: they’re an organic part of things. In other
hands, Courvoisier’s music could easily feel overwritten – as a lesser rhythm
section clunks toward another programmed bit. But it never does.
