NC Jazz: Fabienne Ambuehl Quartet ft. Ant Law
January 31 @ 7:30 pm
London-based Swiss pianist, composer and singer Fabienne Ambuehl leads a quartet that is rhythmically compelling, lyrical and evocative. Her lyrical jazz takes the listener from the calm of mountain landscapes deep into the buzz of city life. Ambuehl’s compositions have a striking energy and dynamism while also painting details with a subtle brush. Her vocals sweep across wide emotional terrain, using her own lyrics as well as poems by Emily Dickinson, D.H. Lawrence and others.
Working with Matt Ridley (The Antidote, The Darius Brubeck Quartet) and Jon Scott (Mulatu Astatke, GoGo Penguin), and Ant Law (Trio HLK, Same Moon in the Same World, Brigitte Beraha), three of the most experienced and in demand musicians on the London scene, Ambuehl’s music explores a variety of colour and texture with clearly communicated ideas and alert interaction within the band.
