Samuel Blaser Trio feat. Marc Ducret & Peter Bruun

Samuel Blaser: trombone
Marc Ducret: guitar
Peter Bruun: drums

Samuel Blaser from Switzerland has long since claimed his place among the world’s most skilled and respected trombonists. He has grown from a straightforward hard bop artist to a versatile improviser in his own class. Blaser, who has visited Tampere Jazz Happening and Kerava Jazz, is now performing on the Finnish tour for the first time with his own trio, where he is joined by the French guitar genius Marc Ducret and the richly imaginative Danish drummer Peter Bruun.

The trio, which has been playing together since 2013, is a veritable melting pot of talent. Through frequent gigging, the trio has developed its own kinetic language, where each member knows how to grasp the other’s musical idea in a unique way. The trio, which is always changing its shape, can march, groove, steam or boil up as the situation demands.

“One of trombonist/composer talents is his uncanny ability to as fully distinguish himself accompanying other musicians as when he is leading theme” – Doug Collette, All About Jazz
