Moods Carte Blanche

In 2019, the Jazz Club Moods launched the event format "Moods Carte Blanche", replacing the previous concert series "Artist in Residence". The "Moods Carte Blanche" offers six selected artists* each the opportunity to realize their own projects - they are free to choose the venue, the timing and the type of projects. As in the past, the selection of the six artists is the responsibility of the Musicians' Council which is made up of six representatives of the Zurich jazz scene.
In 2023, Linda Vogel, Anna Frey, Rafael Schilt, Tamriko Kordzaia, Domi Chansorn und Daniel Schenker have received a "Moods Carte Blanche". In June 2024, the Carte Blanche Festival will take place at the end of their season.
