Labyrinth II
This Swiss ensemble project weaves together jazz, Latin, and blues sensibilities into something that moves fluidly between traditions. Nicole Johänntgen, Jon Hansen, and David Stauffacher create a sound rooted in contemporary jazz but enriched by Afro-Cuban elements, bossa nova sophistication, and blues feeling. Labyrinth II suggests a journey through connected musical spaces, where the ensemble moves comfortably between straight-ahead jazz phrasing and Latin grooves. The musicianship is assured, the compositions thoughtful, and the overall effect both sophisticated and deeply musical. For listeners who appreciate genre-fluid improvisation.
