Zukunft

Digital · XJM22001 · 53:51

Tenor saxophone, tenor saxophone, double bass, drums: the music of the Swiss collective „Shane Quartet“ recalls the classic sound of the saxophone trio, which — lacking a harmonic instrument — stands for maximum agility. With two tenor saxophones, new doors open for melodic interaction and polyphony without forfeiting the music's airy character. The quartet's versatile repertoire combines elements from modern jazz to twelve-tone music, leaving plenty of room for spontaneous interaction, from minimalist beats to heated dialogues. This is how the band's unmistakable sound is created — the „Shane Sound“. On „Zukunft“, the two tenor saxophones of Gabriel Wenger and Christoph Huber take centre stage, carried by Jeremie Krüttli on double bass and Philipp Leibundgut on drums. The album moves between clear compositional forms and improvisational freedom. „Zukunft“ was released on 25 February 2022 on XJAZZ! Music.

Shane Quartet

Swiss saxophone collective of two tenors, bass and drums playing without a harmonic instrument in the spirit of Ornette Coleman.

Shane Quartet is a Swiss collective whose sound recalls the classic saxophone trio: two tenor saxophones, double bass and drums, with no harmonic instrument and therefore maximum agility. The band comprises tenor saxophonists Gabriel Wenger and Christoph Huber, bassist Jérémie Kruettli and drummer Philipp Leibundgut; it has no leader but four composers. On their second album "Zukunft" (2022, XJAZZ! Music) the two tenor players don't engage in a "tenor battle" but move like two perfectly coordinated dancers — in complexly winding lines in the spirit of Ornette Coleman, exploring the physical laws of consonance and dissonance.
