Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin is a Swiss jazz-Band from Zurich. It was founded in 2001 by the Swiss pianist, composer and producer Nik Bärtsch (born 1971).

All Ronin releases are part of Nik Baertsch’s RITUAL GROOVE MUSIC cycle, which combines various musical styles from funk, new classical music to elements of Japanese ritual music. The insistent rhythms also suggest the minimalism of Steve Reich. Bärtsch has called their style “Zen-Funk”.

The ZEN-FUNK quintet RONIN was founded in 2001, consisting of Nik Baertsch [ composition, piano, fender rhodes ] Kaspar Rast [ drums ] Björn Meyer [ bass ] Andi Pupato [ percussion ] and Sha [ bass- and contrabass clarinet ].

Their RITUAL GROOVE MUSIC consistently follows the same aesthetic vision under various instrumental guises: creating the maximum effect by minimal means. Besides, Bärtsch performs as a solo artist and with the acoustic group Nik Bärtsch’s Mobile. Ronin tends to be the more flexible formation and plays the compositions more freely.

Bärtsch’s earlier projects were released on Ronin Rhythm Records. In 2006 Bärtsch was signed to ECM and has released two albums with Ronin.

THE RIPPINGTONS - Modern Art (2009)

2009-06-18T08:51:00.004+07:00

Modern Art (2009)

One of the most consistently popular contemporary jazz ensembles around, the Rippingtons came together when founder Russ Freeman formed the group over twenty years ago. Although some of the participants have changed through the years, guitarist/keyboardist Freeman has remained a constant as the heart and soul of the band.

The current incarnation of the Rippingtons includes drummer Dave Karasony, bassist Rico Belled, Bill Heller on keyboards and accordion, and Jeff Kashiwa on sax and EWI. Smooth jazz trumpet star Rick Braun also shows up on one track Love Story, one of many on the album that reflect the group's strong roots in the genre.

CARIBBEAN JAZZ PROJECT

2008-12-19T00:01:00.008+07:00

The Caribbean Jazz Project was formed in 1993. Over the course of ten acclaimed recordings, 2 Grammys in 2003 and 2008, 4 Grammy nominations, the inventive Latin jazz ensemble has blended scintillating rumbas, sambas, boleros and cha-chas with the uncut spirit of jazz improvisation. As ringleader Samuels once explained, "Caribbean defines part of what we do, and jazz defines the other part"

10 Rompiendo el Hielo en 2000

With the album New Horizons, the Caribbean Jazz Project has been reborn, and the new band boasts a sound as clear and inviting as a white sandy beach disappearing into an azure sea.

Marimba and vibes virtuoso Dave Samuels, the sole holdover from the original CJP, knew the concept was too exciting to let it fade away when Paquito D'Rivera and Andy Narell moved on to new projects. While working on a tribute to Cal Tjader, he did some playing with guitar hero Steve Khan, flute master Dave Valentin and veteran Latin jazz bassist John Benitez.

The sextet's innovative instrumentation also draws upon Cal Tjader's old quintet, which featured Mongo Santamaria and Willie Bobo on percussion. For CJP, Samuels recruited the superb conguero Richie Flores and Venezuelan-born Robert Vilera on timbales. The absence of a trap set is one of the reasons the band's rhythmic textures feel so open and transparent.
