What an unusual line-up for a jazz quintet: two women and three brothers! The brothers - NOLAN on trumpet, SIMON on double bass and BRIAN QUINN on drums - were born in Lugano. The 28-year-old pianist MANON MULLENER comes from Fribourg, the 33-year-old saxophonist SOPHIA TOMELLERI from Milan. Quite wrongly, the five musicians are not as well known here in Central Switzerland as they deserve to be. Nolan Quinn was honored with the "Swiss Jazz Award" in 2022, Manon Mullener received a scholarship from the canton of Fribourg in 2024 to work on her second album in New York for four months! All band members have an outstanding playing technique on their instruments and impress with their soulful, refined and melodic improvisations.
The NOLAN QUINN QUINTET presents a program of original compositions. The style palette moves between traditional jazz jargon and contemporary jazz. The compositions are catchy, simple and melodious. The interpretations and improvisations of the band members allow them to blossom.
Let's look forward to a young quintet, to their music, which is full of charm and emotion.
Tickets are available on site from 60 minutes before the start of the event.
