Le "Trio Improv’iste" est un trio jazz qui explore les possibilités rythmiques des claquettes comme instrument de percussion. Dans cette formation singulière, le danseur de claquettes tient le rôle de batteur : la musique devient danse, et la danse devient musique.
Depuis sa première apparition au Cully Jazz Festival en 2006, le projet n’a cessé d’évoluer, s’enrichissant de traditions musicales variées, et s’est produit en Suisse, France, Allemagne, Italie, Canada, Mexique et Guatemala. Parmi les faits marquants récents : une bourse de recherche spéciale de la Fondation Parallèle (2021), ainsi que des concerts à Chorus (2022, 2024), au Guatemala Jazz Festival (2023), au Sunset-Sunside à Paris (2023), au festival Marigliano in Jazz à Naples (2023), au Festival de Musique Improvisée de Lausanne (2023) et au Generations Jazz Festival (2023).
