The nominated bands introduce themselves
At the ZKB Jazz Prize Festival, six young, innovative up-and-coming bands compete for the most highly endowed jazz prize in Switzerland. In concrete terms, this means that at the ZKB Jazz Award Festival you have the chance to discover the bands of tomorrow! To give you an idea of exactly what to expect, the musicians introduce themselves in this article and tell you what they would do with the prize if they were to win it.
Sunday, 22.09. 19:00
Bass clarinettist Chloé Marsigny draws inspiration for her deeply jazzy compositions from the universe and the laws of physics and astrophysics. The sextet impresses the audience with exciting arrangements and playful melodies in which the warm sound of the bass clarinet comes into its own. Refreshing, unpredictable and cosmic.
Lea Gasser 5tet
Monday, 23.09. 21:45
With the Lea Gasser 5tet, the young accordionist brings her own wonderfully enchanting musical language to the stage. Embedded in the sound of her quintet, the musician creates lyrical compositions that describe seemingly inconspicuous everyday moments and fuse jazz with classical and folk music elements.
LELE GORRI
Di, 24.09. 21:45
The Swiss-Cuban pianist Leandro Irarragorri interweaves influences from his compositions with influences from US-American and Cuban music radiations. The result is a groovy sound between Latin and jazz that makes you dance, to dance, sing and feel along.
Maud Paquis Quintet
Di 24.09. 20:30
Maud Paquis is a French-Swiss author, composer, pianist and singer. In the language of Molière, she tells mysterious stories about the call of seagulls, a witch hunt, Greek myths and the creation of the universe - sometimes poppy, sometimes inspired by swing or bossa nova, but always original.
Meraki Sextett
Mo, 23.09. 20:30
The Meraki Sextet creates unique soundscapes that range from melancholy to exuberant euphoria and are characterised by the unusual instrumentation without harmony. Martin Gilgen and Marius Hösli draw inspiration for their compositions from the harmonic sounds and metaphors of the universe, thereby exploring the boundaries of jazz.
Polarbaeren
So, 22.09. 20:15
Polarbaeren are four young musicians who set out to shatter the conventions of what new jazz should and shouldn't do. Whirling, abrupt, straightforward, with powerful beats and insane creativity, the band captivates their listeners and wraps them up in a snowstorm of sounds.
