Carte Blanche

Jan Schlegel is a real father figure among improvising electric bassists in this country. Originally successful in experimental rock, he slipped seamlessly into the experimental jazz scene around Urs Blöchlinger and into his "Legfek Trio" with Peter Landis. Today, he continues to amaze musicians with his wealth of ideas and ever-changing sounds, as well as his unerring sense of form and time. The electric bassist is an accomplished jack-of-all-trades in jazz and free improvisation, working with Gabriela Friedli, Co Streiff, Dieter Ulrich, Omri Ziegele and Dieter Ulrich, among others. Always in search of sound, he manipulates his bass with rocks, staples, and other objects - whether in composed music, improvisation, or somewhere in between.

Pianist Roberto Domeniconi is a sensitive, visionary inventor who opens up new horizons with every note. Together with Christian Weber on bass, whose multifaceted playing ties the form of the music together, and percussionist Emanuel Künzi, whose delicate agility and dancing groove bring the compositions to life, they complement each other to form a trio. Their music is an adventure, a story of friendship, tradition and discovery, deeply rooted in the history of jazz and pointing to the immediate future. Together they weave a sonic narrative that evokes both images and emotions, transporting their listeners into a pleasant weightlessness.
