Marie Kruttli

Marie Kruttli is a swiss pianist, composer, producer who lives in Berlin. She was born in a village in Switzerland, in a family of musicians and started playing the piano at the age of 6. She first learned classical music and then switched to jazz (obtaining later on a bachelor and master at HEMU Lausanne and Hochschule Luzern academies). Marie received numerous prizes for her performance and composition work. The band that she has performed the most with so far is her trio (now with bassist Lukas Traxel and drummer Gautier Garrigue) but the artist is working now on a project called Dragon Life which was born from her producing work. It is a band that has two different constellation (duo and sextet) where she also uses her voice and synthesisers.

Alban Darche: Le Gros Cube #2

Read "Le Gros Cube #2" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


La passione di Alban Darche, quarantasettenne tenorsassofonista e compositore bretone, per i grossi organici è nota: ce ne siamo già occupati diverse volte, su queste colonne. Questo suo ultimo lavoro, edito come d'uso su Yolk Music, non fa eccezione: diciotto elementi, big band che più classica non si potrebbe. Per una volta (almeno rispetto al passato) anche in quanto a linguaggio espressivo-espositivo, che si riconnette mani e piedi alla grande tradizione orchestrale, inserendo i soli, che ovviamente non mancano, sopra ...

Il tratto principale della mia musica Penso che la mia musica sia abbastanza estrema. Esprimo molte cose. Spesso non è tonale. Quindi per essere apprezzata ha bisogno di persone con la mente aperta. La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con me La loro fiducia in me e nella mia musica. Anche la loro lealtà. Come musicista, il momento in cui sono stato più felice Ogni volta che faccio ...

Hot on the heels of her debut, Kruttli spent a few months in New York and released a short second recording, What Do I Miss (QFTF, 2015), with a ...

Marie Kruttli: What Do I Miss

Read "What Do I Miss" reviewed by Geno Thackara


There's a usual time-tested path so many musicians go through in their early phases: learn how to play, take examples from one's favorites or influences, continue absorbing the elements and mechanics of what they do, then take some time processing all those things and (hopefully) eventually spinning them into one's own voice or style. At the same time there's the concurrent matter of developing technical skills in order to decide how much or little to use them. Marie ...

Marie Kruttli Quintet: What Do I Miss

Read "What Do I Miss" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


What Do I Miss is pianist Marie Kruttli's second album as leader, hot on the heels of her trio debut, Kartapousse, which was released in mid-2015. Once again the tunes are all Kruttli's original compositions, but this time round it's a quintet outing: a short, five track EP recorded in Brooklyn during Kruttli's three-month stay in New York and released on the young German label QFTF. Krüttli's New York quintet not only adds tenor saxophone (Francesco Geminiani) and ...

Marie Kruttli Trio: Kartapousse

Read "Kartapousse" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


Kartapousse is the debut album from the Marie Kruttli Trio. Leader and composer Marie Kruttli, born in French Switzerland in 1991, is joined by two more young Swiss musicians, bassist Lukas Traxel and drummer Martin Perret, on a collection of her original compositions. It's a promising start to the trio's career. Apparently, Kartapousse is a subtle homage to the role-playing game Pokemon. Non-Pokemon fans may well find the homage to be somewhat too subtle, but it doesn't matter ...
