Composed and sung by Emmanuelle Bonnet, this new quartet programme presents material from the album Prérie(s), released on her independent label Mousse Records after a 2024 debut on Unit Records. Joined by Yvonne Rogers (piano), Tabea Kind (double bass) and Lucas Zibulski (drums), the four musicians pursue timbral and textural discoveries, shaping a collective sound marked by playful nonchalance and subtle humour. The performance unfolds intimate, shifting atmospheres that deconstruct and reweave harmonies into delicate, expressive narratives.

Maël Godinat (piano), Pierre-François Massy (double bass) and William Jacquemet (trombone) present an evening of original compositions and a handful of chosen covers. The trio’s sound privileges warm harmonic textures and close interplay, seeking to reimagine familiar tunes through delicate arrangement and spontaneous dialogue. Lighting and sound are kept subtle to foreground acoustic intimacy, inviting listeners into a dreamlike atmosphere where harmonies unfold and linger.

Led by pianist Rasmus Kjær, this trio with Nicolas Masson (saxophone, clarinet) and Noé Franklé (drums) merges refined composition and free improvisation to examine the emotional and physical resonance of water. Recorded together shortly after their initial meetings, the music balances attentive piano lines, breathy reeds and textural percussion, creating submerged, shifting soundscapes. The performance foregrounds interplay and collective listening, alternating moments of clarity and drift to shape an intimate, immersive sonic atmosphere.

On Season 25–26, Christoph Grab’s SHAPE & FORM ensemble sculpts music that breathes, born of motifs and intervals and full of sudden changes. Without fixed chords, a linear, wandering harmony carries collective improvisation: alto and tenor saxophones (Christoph Grab), trumpet (Lina Allemano), piano (Matthieu Mazué), double bass (Christian Weber) and drums (Dieter Ulrich). Between jazz, contemporary-classical colours and pulsating rhythms, the group builds a dense, open sound space where structure and spontaneity evolve in equal measure.

Led by pianist and researcher Thomas Florin, Dig Dug Dug presents its second album, a refined showcase of the trio’s musical complicity. The ensemble, piano (Thomas Florin), double bass (Bänz Oester) and drums (Samuel Dühsler), blends irresistible swing with textured sonic exploration. Their interplay balances deep introspection and spontaneous energy, unfolding a shared language rooted in swing traditions yet rich with personal timbres. The music alternates between buoyant grooves and intimate, shimmering passages, inviting attentive listening.
