One of most essential and forward-thinking contemporary jazz groups from the legendary ECM Records stable, Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin return to Band on the Wall.
Six years have passed since Live, the last release from Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin, the long gap bridged in 2015 with Continuum, an album from Mobile, Bärtsch’s all-acoustic project.
“I wanted to give Ronin the peace and space it needed to develop,” says the Swiss composer-pianist. “Not to put it under pressure, and to take all the steps necessary before the next recording.”
Lineup:
Nik Bärtsch: piano
Sha: bass clarinet, alto saxophone
Jeremias Keller : bass
Kaspar Rast: drums
