Wavemakers

Alex Ventling Wavemakers is a nordic chamber-jazz quartet led by the Swiss-New Zealand pianist and composer Alex Ventling. As the name suggests, Wavemakers build large momentum, forming distinct “groove-organisms”, where each musician shares an equal role in the interweaving musical tapestry.
