Description

The Albin Brun Quartet is one of the influential formations of the contemporary Swiss folk and jazz scene. The four musicians combine jazz, improvisation, and folk music into a distinctive sound language that unites tradition and modernity in an unmistakable way. The focus is on the Lucerne multi-instrumentalist and composer Albin Brun. With saxophone and Swiss accordion, he creates music that moves between homeland and wanderlust and incorporates influences from various cultures. Brun is considered a key figure in the Swiss scene between jazz and new folk music and has been awarded, among other things, the Swiss Music Prize. The quartet also includes Patricia Draeger (accordion), Claudio Strebel (double bass), and Markus Lauterburg (drums and percussion). Together, they develop a transparent yet powerful ensemble sound characterized by melodic richness, rhythmic sophistication, and great joy of playing. With their current program and the album 'Pas de quatre' released in 2025, the quartet moves dance-like between jazz and imaginary folk music. Surprising harmonies, subtle improvisations, and catchy melodies create music full of joie de vivre, melancholy, and narrative depth. Critics describe Albin Brun's music as 'touching', 'breathtaking', and of 'silent beauty'. The ensemble's ability to connect influences from Swiss folk music with sound colors from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East without losing its musical roots is particularly appreciated.
