The character of Heiri Känzig's new group grew out of an interest in moving beyond established genres and perceived boundaries. Here, the world music influences that Känzig has absorbed in his numerous encounters with musical cultures around the globe can flow together. It is not about setting a record in terms of complexity or innovation. Rather, one can hear in this sextet a love of making music that goes straight to the heart.
In these pieces, you can hear the fluttering touch of oud player Armin Mraihi, the lyrical sophistication of Marc Méan on the piano, the floating melisma of singer Veronika Stalder, the captivating power of trumpeter Matthieu Michel, the melodic, pulsating lines of Kaenzig on the double bass, and the percussionist Lionel Friedli who provides the drive. The passion for making music and the stylistic openness form the backbone of this music. It defies definition. It is the power of expression that counts.
