“One of this year’s most celebrated five star releases.”
Jazz Views (full review)

Swiss trombonist Samuel Blaser made his Whirlwind debut with his new quartet album Spring Rain earlier this year, a tribute to US clarinettist and composer Jimmy Giuffre. Intentionally blurring the boundaries between jazz, blues, free improvisation and contemporary classical, along with an ear for strong melody, Blaser is a musician who seeks to widen the musical scope of his instrument while retaining its tonal identity.
