about

I am very happy about the release of my album "THIS" on the swiss Jazz label Unit Records. For "THIS" I composed and produced eight instrumental pieces for a quintet line-up. The starting point for the compositions were sketches developed on the bass guitar, that mesh with (collective) improvisations, minimalist segments, indie rock parts, hints of pop, soundscapes and jazz elements. "

Press quotes:
"A skilled navigator of contemporary European jazz sensibilities."
London Jazz News, February 2019

"Elements from other genres flow into the music without transitions, but don't dilute the jazz in any way. Rather, they illuminate its modern essence in a new light."
Jazz ‘n‘ more, March 2019

„In his original, tasty instrumental compositions, the electric bassist born in 1979, underscores the tonal spectrum of his instrument.“
Jazzthing, March 2019
