In the organizer's words:

Jazz+ at the Seidlvilla presents: 10.11.2026_Samuel Blaser Quartet

Samuel Blaser (trombone)
Russ Lossing (piano)
Masa Kamaguchi (double bass)
Billy Mintz (drums)

Samuel Blaser is a virtuoso trombonist with a lush sound and fluid, expressive phrasing. He is also an inspired composer, always seeking a balance between structure and freedom. On his upcoming double album Amaaka / Shadow, he brings together a remarkable quartet consisting of pianist Russ Lossing, bassist Masa Kamaguchi and drummer Billy Mintz - three masters of improvisation known for their depth, sensitivity and creative interplay.

Amaaka / Shadow is firmly rooted in the jazz tradition and at the same time open to modern forms of expression. The album is structured as a double CD: Amaaka presents a collection of compositions by Blaser, while Shadow contains original works by Lossing. Both parts were recorded with the same ensemble and offer two distinct but interconnected musical visions - lyrical, exploratory and deeply personal.

The title Amaaka is an amalgamation of "Ama" (Adam) and "Aka" (Oscar), the childhood pronunciations of Blaser's sons' names - a subtle allusion to family and intimacy.

The project is followed by an EP entitled Rosina, which is based on folk melodies from Emilia-Romagna and pays homage to Blaser's grandmother. Rosina is a meditation on origins and memory and ties in emotionally and musically with the double album.
