Lucas Niggli BIG ZOOM Anne La Berge fl, electr Also in this promising line-up BIG ZOOM remains jazz combo, chamber music ensemble and rock band in one. Accordingly the music races through the peaks and valleys of today’s music, does a bow to tradition here, a jump into the unknown there. |

STEAMBOAT SWITZERLAND Dominik Blum - hammond organ, korg ms 20 and piano ( on Zone2) Steamboat Switzerland comprises the force of a fully cranked-up Hammond organ, an E-bass distorted beyond recognition and drums as hard as nails. Driven by the highly explosive mixture of metal-riffs, contemporary sound material and free improvisation, the steamboat resolves its interfering noises into strangely moving harmonies. Watch out for the engine room which crashes, bangs and chirps quite cunningly. A Short Extract from the Performance in Los Angeles, Steve Allen Theater on June 19th 2008 |

Xu Fengxia - Lucas Niggli Duo Xu Fengxia (China) guzheng, sanxian, voice What Xu Fengxia and Lucas Niggli, both highly authentic just being the personalities they are, draw on their respective musical world eludes every categorisation. They open their hearts and advance into uncharted territory of the unheard – their very own music. Black Lotos as a „pure crossbreed“ of world music, as a perfect but completely untypical crossover of musical globalisation. The real and medial possibilities give us songs from different times, from all continents and make music of almost every provenience available. This is great. People from the most distant places meet. The amalgamation and overlapping of different cultures in music fascinates us and lead us to ever new levels.

Lucas Nigglis ZOOM Nils Wogram - trombone Lucas Niggli’s ZOOM is the union of the improvisational core of Jazz with the esthetical sound-culture of contemporary music. This small and agile group with two tenor instruments and drums speeds through the highs and lows of today’s music. The group makes a bow to tradition here and jumps into the unknown there. The compositions are very delicately crafted, especially with regard to sound. A wide range of dramaturgies and energies come into play as their compositions are both relaxed and simultaneously highly powerful. |
