just back from a fantastic night out: it was the 40th birthday of one of our friends — to celebrate the occasion they had organized a jazz concert with the cécile verny quartet in the theater ticino in wädenswil…to quote from the cécile verny quartet web-site:
the quartet’s own compositions are rooted in various cultures and combine jazz and european tradition with african sounds and latin american rhythms. moreover, the four musical personalities put the lyrics of african and english poets to music in addition to their own lyrics in english and french. […]
all kinds of musical elements blend to promise a special evening somewhere between the tradition and future of jazz–worldbeat–pop.
and it was a fantastic evening: the quartet really enjoyed their music and it showed in the way they performed: playful but precise, energetic but relaxed. a fantastic jazz night out!
