SAMUEL HUGUENIN SYMBOLIC QUARTET With his first album "Un peu plus à l'est" the saxophonist from Vevey, Samuel Huguenin, who studied ancient music at the Schola Cantorum in Basel and jazz at the conservatory in Montreux, is now showing his exceptional ability as a composer. His music is a mixture of African rhythms, oriental melodies and a Balkan trance, without slipping into any genre clichés. Putting aside his talent as a composer and instrumentalist, Samuel Huguenin has surrounded himself with gifted musicians, full of spirit and with no barriers of any style chosen. Gabriel Zufferey, a young talented pianist from another planet, Julien Neumann, a double-bass player who is solid as a rock, and Gilles Dupuis the heart beat of the quartet. The breath of the saxophonist propels us into a powerful music, taking us on a voyage into his delightful world, where every improvisation transforms into a new adventure.
