Echo vom Zürihorn: Wanderlust

swissinfo.ch

Imaginary Folk Music / Improvised Music. Echo vom Zürihorn is an adventurous alphorn trio made up of trombonists from Zurich's jazz and classical scene. A decade ago they started out, pushing the boundaries of traditional alphorn playing and thus exploring a wide sonic field spanning from Afro grooves to overtone chants. At the same time this triad has always emphasised dialogic improvisation worded in Swiss-German as "zäme brichte" (talking to each other). Wanderlust shows Echo vom Zürihorn at their best, handling a broad spectrum of expressions with ease: the state of the alphorn, indeed!
