MARCO VON ORELLI 5
«Contemporary Jazz Improvisation»

Marco von Orelli Trumpet  Benjamin Weidekamp Alto Saxophone & Clarinet  Michel Wintsch Piano
Kaspar von Grünigen Bass  Samuel Dühsler Drums

Marco von Orelli 5 are playing contemporary music in the vein of jazz and new music, always with a keen sense of improvisational excursions. The compositions of leader and trumpetist Marco von Orelli are custom-made pieces for a working band, where every single musician has his space. MvO 5 continuously works at the borderline of written and improvised music – compositions and concepts serve as points of departure, as interstations and as transitional passages. MvO 5 is creating a unique ensemble sound.
A great contrast to conventional stylistic concepts, this sound is based on such structuralprinciples as change and variation, as it evolves within anself-determined system of coordinates…Following hidden lanes together, they are a close-knit collective.
