MARIE KRÜTTLI TRIO
Marie Kruttli's trio is inspiring, fresh and daring. The Swiss pianist has created her own language, which is developed within the trio in an interpretation imbued with both lightness and groove, and which speaks to the heart and the body. Marie Krüttli's playing is impressive, delivering complex rhythms and colourful harmonies with infinite ease. With an accomplished sound, a singular aesthetic and spellbinding virtuosity, the three musicians deliver a music of great richness and take us on a journey through a mysterious musical landscape full of life.

AXIOM
Some ten years ago, drummer Dejan Terzic formed the international quartet Axiom with Franco-Serbian pianist Bojan Z, American Chris Speed on saxophone and Swiss Bänz Öster on bass, four musicians who are among the elite of the international jazz scene. High-level improvisation, minimalist approaches and melancholy colours characterise the group's sound. In mathematics, an axiom is something that doesn't need proving: Dejan Terzic's music is straightforward, self-evident, and part of a well-honed mechanism, where the tension-filled rhythm is fuelled by the playing of each of its performers.

Bonbon Flamme
A wind from a fantasised Mexico blows and fans the flames of the quartet created by cellist Valentin Ceccaldi. Inspired by the taste of lemons and the mystical atmosphere of Dia de los Muertos, a brightly coloured, tangy and spicy music is played, shaken, shaped and triturated by Luis Lopes' guitar, Fulco Ottervanger's keyboards and Etienne Ziemniak's drums. Exploring our relationship with our ancestors as much as the power and energy of the present, the four partners invite us to a pagan feast that celebrates contrasts, from caresses to uppercuts, from chaos to hugs, for a moment that's both sensitive and furious.
