Summer i was ten

In 2019 the two great players and tremendously inspired improvisers release their third album The Summer I Was Ten. Their congenial playing, a trademark from the beginning of their collaboration, has matured over the years. Sau-ter and Schläppi let their intuition wander and one can hear by their interplay that they are two masters of their craft giving each other blind trust.

The music unfolds a wide array of musical themes, styles and ideas. It ranges from chamber jazz ballad-like pieces to hidden Blues, from impressionistic flows to de-tailed miniatures, from Folk inspired connotations to smart, mischievous modern sound. Sauter and Schläppi merge their musical cosmos with a beguilingly ease which enables the two masters of delicate playing to develop musical conversations beyond the common expectations of the listener.
