Mongolia is not exactly considered a hot spot on the international jazz scene. However, pianist and composer Shuteen Erdenebaatar is about to change that. Born in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar, she moved to Munich in 2018 and has been shaking up the European jazz scene ever since. With her top-class, "enormously vital quartet at the cutting edge" (Rondo Magazine), she was named "Ensemble of the Year" at the German Jazz Award 2024. Musically, the four exceptional young musicians, all of whom are also successful with their own projects, complement each other perfectly: Erdenebaatar's warm, minimalist, repetitive piano patterns are soared by the soft, scratchy sound of tenor saxophonist Simon Comté, who, together with his friend bassist Nils Kugelmann, has already been featured by the renowned WDR Big Band. Underneath, drummer Amir Bresler provides the right groove in an unobtrusive but incredibly lively manner. A very unique mixture that charmingly defies all attempts at categorization.
