April 29th 2010 - The Swiss

The Swiss (Si Robinson, Steve Down and Andy Balls), is a jazz act with a truly unique voice. They are dynamic and exciting in their fusion of infectious melodies, rock rhythms, electronica musings and jazz improvisation. Their compositions push the boundaries of the ever-changing jazz spectrum.

The Swiss sound hinges on the trio acting as a single entity whilst exploring rhythm and groove, repetitive riffs and soaring melodies. This soon resulted in the production of their first collaboration - a meandering improvisation that was divided into 4 movements and wistfully named, "Requiem for a Dream".

The next output for the Swiss came in the form of cover versions of jazz standards and other favourites of the trio, such as "Man With A Movie Camera" - The Cinematic Orchestra, "Corpus Christi Carol" - as made famous by Jeff Buckley.
