On this evening, Jazz Festival Basel will be presenting “Bass Dreams.” The quintet led by double bassist Eva Kruse is a little out of the ordinary. This is partly due to its line-up: Marie Gitman, an oboist, plays alongside her. It is also due to a concept that bridges the gap between strictly conceived chamber music and jazz. Many will remember Eva Kruse as the bassist of the successful band Trio, which she founded with Michael Wollny and Eric Schaefer and in which she was active as a bassist and composer from 2002 to 2013. In the meantime, she also toured with Nils Landgren, with whom she worked for many years. “New Legend” is the name of the latest work that Eva Kruse recorded with her distinctive quintet in Gothenburg. In recent years, this formation has grown together into an organism with a shared, individual sound language. Interactions now sound even more lively, timbres even more nuanced, and deliberate friction more finely attuned to each other. Kruse received the German Jazz Award 2021 for “New Legend.”
Tickets are CHF 38.20-58.60.
