Aerial, the duo project of saxophonist Alexandra Lehmler and vibraphonist Franck Tortiller, evokes the element of air and its lack of limits as the medium in which their music evolves. The intertwining of the ethereal sounds of the vibraphone and the melodic ornaments of the saxophone seem to evolve without gravity, reminiscent of multiple jumps, spins, and other acrobatics. Listening, exchanging, and taking risks—everything that makes jazz what it is today—is in this duo’s music.
Alexandra Lehmler is one of the most striking figures of the young German jazz scene. Born in 1979 in Bad Ems an der Lahn, she began playing saxophone at the age of 13. After graduating, she studied in Mannheim, Stuttgart, and Paris, then founded her own quartet. A singular and expressive musician, she is dedicated to defending the interests of artists.
Franck Tortiller, from a family of winemakers and amateur musicians, grew up in Burgundy. He studied classical percussion at the Conservatoire de Dijon and in Paris at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique (CNSM) before specializing in jazz. As a member of the Vienna Art Orchestra and director of the Orchestre National de Jazz, he is a regular guest on major European jazz stages.
Nine years ago, Alexandra Lehmler met Franck Tortiller in a Franco-German quintet. Their duo collaboration highlights the airborne and translucent nature of their music.
