Chimaira

Momentum.Fragility.Ectasy.Sound.Fun!

This band invites the careful listener to a sound world of intimate fragility up to virtuoso ecstasy. Vivid communication, joy, a high willingness to carry a risk and an strong sense for the momentum characterises this band. The compositions form the framework, set a mood, give a direction, but also give a lot of room for strong decisions. They are a platform for collective improvisation. This is music for both mind and heart! LISTEN HERE!

Quotes:


„Really nice indead. If you‘re „free enough“ to take appreciate this music will conquer new worlds.“ (Jannek Roland Meyer, Jazz Podium D)

„The Switzerland-German ensemble has the same agility as the legendary Keith Jarrett Quartet, with a melodic saxophone as a spearhead, an immaculately ironed and picking bassist and a pianist who provides room for the music to breathe. Huber himself is a creative drummer with a great sense of melody and sound. A strong debut!" (Herman te Loo, Jazzflits NL)

„The music builds and grows naturally. This is a beautiful album.“ (Thierry Giard, Culturejazz.fr)
