Simon Spiess Quartet at Clarence – Costa News Spain

The Simon Spiess Quintet has reformed. They will perform at Clarence Jazz Club, Saturday March 8, 2019.

Although the members of this quartet haven’t played together in this formation for some time, they share a strong musical connection. This closeness gives the sound a lasting organic solidity.

Malcolm Braff’s piano playing is expressive, bluesier at times, and inspiring with its pulsating, percussive way of breaking and caringssing the melody. Simon Spiess’ solos are a testament to his unfathomable creativity and sensitivity. Bänz Oester impresses with his clearly emphasised bass lines and his melodic and lyrical solos, which fit perfectly into the sound structure of the band and yet stand out for their uniqueness. While drummer Samuel Dühsler subtly underlines the vibrant and cheerful rhythms with brushes and light pulses on the cymbals, providing the necessary structure.

Spiess’s soulful, warm saxophone, combined with his innovative sound design, creates a captivating mix of global textures, jazz, and electronica. The Quartet’s dynamic performances are known for their hard-grooving soundscapes and vivid visuals. A live performance by a Simon Spiess band is a chance to see a Swiss giant of jazz that’s accessible and avant garde.

Clarence Jazz Club, Torremolinos will host the Simon Spiess quartet on Saturday 8th March at 10pm. Clarence Jazz Club has tickets available. website at clarencejazzclub.com and cost between €20 and €25.
