Samuel Blaser Quartet

Description

Congrats Samuel Blaser! In the 74th DownBeat Critics Poll last July, the Swiss was voted into the Top 5 trombonists worldwide! This award from an international jury of critics highlights Blaser's exceptional status – and the timing for his concert with us couldn't be better.
In the jazz club, the award-winning musician presents his latest project "Rosina." It is his most personal album to date – a profound exploration and homage to his grandmother and former resistance fighter Rosina Pierina Scarpioni from Emilia Romagna. Inspired by historical field recordings, Blaser weaves traditional folk melodies with modern original compositions. Simple, lyrical melodies meet the boundless freedom of contemporary jazz. Together with his musical companions, he creates vast soundscapes – sometimes raw and impulsive, sometimes tenderly intimate. We experience an evening between Italian tradition and the avant-garde brilliance of a true world-class trombonist. Venue: Jazz-Club Villingen
