In the artist's words:

Although pianist and composer Shuteen Erdenebaatar's quartet has a standard jazz line-up (piano, bass, saxophone and drums), Erdenebaatar manages to give this format a fresh, modern coloration that is all her own. Her unmistakable sound can be recognized by the energetic freedom and dynamic unity with which she leads her band. She constantly encourages them to harmonize individually and as a group with instinctive free improvisation and expressive interaction, leading them to a sophistication of interplay not expected for their youthful age.

Her quartet is made up of award-winning young musicians who are also successful with their own projects. In addition to bassist Nils Kugelmann and alto saxophonist and recorder player Jakob Manz, the sensitive drumming of Amir Bresler rounds off the sound together with the very personal and engaging piano sound of Erdenebaatar.

The quartet was awarded the German Jazz Prize 2024 in the "Ensemble of the Year" category. They also won 1st prize at the Creative Music Awad 2024, 1st prize and the audience award at the legendary Young Munich Jazz Award 2022 and 2nd prize for the 7 Virtual Jazz Club Global Contest. The quartet's debut album "RISING SUN" was released on September 15, 2023 on the New York-based, multiple GRAMMY®-winning label Motéma Music.
