LUZIA VON WYL ENSEMBLE
ABOUT
Strings, wood winds and a rhythm section – in 2013, Swiss composer and pianist Luzia von Wyl founded her unique contemporary jazz orchestra to develop her numerous compositions and present them on stage. Since then, the Luzia von Wyl Ensemble has played in all sorts of venues, released two albums and turned into a highly professional and dedicated band. Luzia's music is rich in colours, plays with rhythm and odd meters and offers strong grooves – a unique world full of adventures and surprises!

THE TRUE HARRY NULZ
ABOUT
Imagine what it would sound like if one of the most exciting jazzbands from Switzerland met their Austrian counterpart and they fused together in their home of choice, Germany: a transalpine musical extravaganza would emerge – and it did! In 2017„The Great Harry Hillman“ joined forces with „Edi Nulz“ to form the septet „The True Harry Nulz“. Two bass clarinets, two guitars, two drumsets and one electric bass provide clever arrangements, unison stereo-effects and improvisational outbursts.
