Quartet

Deeply rooted in a tradition that goes beyond the history of jazz, encompassing an amazing variety of styles underlining Nicolas’ rich musical background, the Quartet is free to explore without being impeded by stylistic boundaries.
The supporting cast is made of New York based musicians, all at the forefront of the contemporary jazz scene.

Parallels

Parallels is made of some of the most talented and sought after musicians on the young Swiss jazz and improvised music scene. Drawing inspiration from alternative rock, pop and other unexpected sources, Parallels is offering music at the same time remotely familiar and completely unclassifiable.
