We have already had the pleasure of welcoming ELMAR FREY a few times as a sideman on drums in various formations. It was always a pleasure to listen to and watch him. He celebrates the art of perfect accompaniment. With his unagitated, relaxed playing, he lays down the perfect groove for his fellow musicians with a variety of rhythms. In his own project "SEVEN COLORS", Elmar Frey now also appears as a composer and arranger. His compositions are stylistically wide-ranging. The palette includes bebop, hard bop, Latin, blues, ballads and soul jazz. All compositions and arrangements bear the recognizable signature of the protagonist.

SEVEN COLORS enriches the jazz landscape with something that is rare today: a band with four "horns". At times, the well-arranged tutti passages sound like a whole big band. It is an advantage that all the horn players have a lot of experience in playing big band arrangements.

With DANIEL SCHENKER, RODRIGO BOTTER MAIO, CHRISTOPH GRAB and STEPHAN SCHLEGEL, four top wind players from the Swiss jazz scene are at the start. Elmar Frey has selected his fellow musicians for the rhythm section with great sensitivity. With ALESSANDRO D'EPISCOPO on piano and GERMAN KLAIBER he completes the accompanying band, which performs with a lot of drive and esprit. All the musicians of the "SEVEN COLORS" are not only gifted tutti players, but also outstanding soloists.

Tickets are available on site from 60 minutes before the start of the event.
