HUMAIR, BLASER, KÄNZIG “HELVETICUS”

Daniel Humair: drums;
Samuel Blaser: trombone;
Heiri Känzig: double bass;

Three generation of some of the best Swiss jazz players from three different parts of the country. Daniel Humair, Samuel Blaser and Heiri Känzig form a trio which stimulates the interest of both music lovers and curious listeners. Humair sculpts time on drums as he paints his pictures and produces melodies in which subtleties and energies alternate. Blaser represents a new voice in the field of trombone, but who has already distinguished himself as a conductor and mature composer. Finally, Känzig is better known on the international scene than in the Swiss one, but his humble attitude and his musical talent are extremely convincing. The result is an alchemy of robust melodies and interlocking rhythms which transform sound into moments of pure poetry.
