The project is the brainchild of Emilio Giovanoli, a double bass player and composer from Ticino who is already well known on the Swiss music scene as a versatile sideman. His aim is to bring together like-minded musicians he met while studying at Basel’s renowned Jazz Campus. The resonant, earthy sound of Emilio Giovanoli’s double bass blends with the soundscapes created by the brilliant touch of Alexandre Cahen on piano (France), the responsive groove of drummer Max Liebenberg (South Africa), the immersive playing of guitarist Martin Theurillat (Chile/Switzerland) and the airy lines of saxophonist Lennard Fiehn (Germany). His imagination is nourished by the broad tradition of jazz, filtered through the meditative landscapes of the Alps. These omnipresent natural obstacles with their peaks, lakes and forests are a source of meditative inspiration, creating music that is radiant, vulnerable and communicative.
