“Pulcinella is a quartet, but he thinks he is an orchestra!” (Armand Meignan) Ouest
France, August 2007 The success of four young musicians is in that they found an original "sound", playing their owncompositions, melting together several idioms borrowed from jazz, rock, "bal musette", improvised music, Balkan and Latin traditions. A touch of madness, poetry, humour, a natural inclination for improvisation, many unexpected instruments (Chinese drum, sliding flute, bendir) were added to the movement and richness of their improvisations. Created in 2004, Pulcinella has already given more than 130 concerts in France and abroad, performed in renowned clubs and festivals such as the Pannonica of Nantes, Grenoble Jazz Festival, Nancy Jazz Pulsation, Festival Assier dans tous ses etats, Festival de Saint Louis (Senegal), Una Striscia di terra feconda (Rome). The group is the winner of the 2005 "Discovery" label awarded by the Federation of Jazz Stages and Improvised Musics; the winner of the “Jazz Migration 2007” awarded by AFIJMA (asociation of 35 French jazz festivals). “Choosing the language of the polyglot, connecting modern music with the music of the past from different parts of the world, “Pulcinella” builds up a theatrical performance through the metamorphosis of sounds. The members of this surprising group are excellent musicians. They love jazz, but not only. As well as Polichinelle (their mascot), this band speaks several languages (paso-doble, tango, musette, soul, funk and jazz, of course), loves transformation and hates permanent forms.” Pierre-Henri Ardonceau (Jazz Magazine n° 580, avril 2007) * Pulcinella is subsidied by the Ministere de la Culture et de la Communication - DRAC de Midi Pyrenees
“Pulcinella este un
cvartet care crede ca este orchestra” (Armand
Meignan, Ouest Franta) Succesul acestor patru muzicieni a fost asigurat in gasirea unui „sound” original, interpretarea compozitiilor personale, contopirea mai multor idiomuri, imprumutate din jazz, rock, „bal muzette”, muzica improvizationala si din traditia balcanica si latina. Un pic de nebunie, multa poezie, umor, o inclinatie fireasca spre improvizatie, multe instrumente imprevizibile (toba chineza, flautul exotic, bendir) imbogatesc limbajul lor muzical. Formata in 2004, Pulcinella a avut deja mai mult de 130 de concerte in Franta si peste hotare, la cluburi si festivaluri ca Pannonica din Nantes, Festivalul de jazz din Grenoble, Nancy Jazz Pulsation, Festivalul Assier dans tous ses etats, Festivalul din Saint Louis (Senegal), Una Striscia di terra feconda (Roma). Formatia este castigatoare a premiului „Discovery” 2005, acordat de Federation of Jazz Stages and Improvised Musics; castigatoarea premiului «Jazz Migration 2007» acordat de AFIJMA (asociatia a 35 festivaluri franceze de jazz). „Alegand limbajul poliglot, unind muzica moderna cu muzica trecutului din diferite parti ale lumii, Pulcinella creeaza o reprezentatie teatrala prin intermediul metamorfozelor sunetelor. Membrii acestei formatii sunt muzicieni excelenti. Adora jazzul, dar nu numai. La fel ca Pulcinella (mascota lor), aceasta formatie vorbeste cateva limbi (paso-doble, tangou, musette, soul, funk si bineinteles jazzul),ei prefera transformarea si urasc formele permanente.” Pierre-Henri Ardonceau (Jazz Magazine n° 580,

Nik Bartsch – piano Ronin is a wandering masterless samurai, never obeying anybody's orders, but the codex of honor. Nik Bartsch - pianist, producer, chief ideologist of the group and philosopher, chose this name for his band, formed in 2001, deservedly called a phenomenon on European scene. Ronin’s music incorporates elements of jazz, classical, funk, ambient and Japanese ritual music. Exotic synthesis of different genres, united by the artistic credo of musicians - asceticism and ecstasy - is the organic texture of Ronin's music, clearly outlining the original individuality of the group and the original new style of chamber jazz - RITUAL GROOVE MUSIC - created by Nik Bartsch. With Ronin`s music, which the group's leader named "Zen-funk", the musicians consistently follow the same aesthetic vision under various instrumental guises: creating the maximum effect by minimal means. Nik Bartsch's artistic credo is obvious not only in his music, but is revealed in the titles of his compositions. He calls all of them Modules (only their numbers change), as if validating the idea of pure music. Nik Bartsch `s bio: 1997 - Graduation from the 'Musikhoch-schule Zurich'; 1989-2001 - studies in philosophy, linguistics and musicology at the University of Zurich; 2003-04 - stay in Japan. Ongoing work on his RITUAL GROOVE MUSIC as pianist and composer. Leader of zen-funk quintet RONIN (since 2001, with Kaspar Rast, Bjorn Meyer, Andi Pupato & Sha) and MOBILE (since 1997). Teacher for ‘practical aesthetics’ at the 'Musikhochschule Zurich/Winterthur' (2000-03). Numerous awards from 1999, including the jazz priority award of Swiss Arts Council in 2006. Andi Pupato studied percussion in Zurich, later at the Escuela de superacion profesional de musica Ignacio Cervantes in Havana, Cuba and with Jose Luis “Changuito” in Quintana. In 1994, Andi went to Senegal with the Senegalese master drummer Kounta’s band 'Dougou-Fana', where he studied traditional African percussion. At present, he works as a percussionist for various national and international bands (with Andreas Vollenweider among others) and is an active studio musician. Among Sha`steachers are Don Li, Nik Bartsch, Sujay Bobade and Banz Oester and professors of
the Jazz School in Lucerne. Sha is also a member of Mik Keusen’s 'Blau' and the
leader and composer for his own band “Banryu”. The group was supported by Pro Helvetia's special "priority jazz promotion" programme.
Ronin este un samurai liber, care nu se supune nimanui decat codexului de onoare. Nik Bartsch - pianist, producator, filosof si liderul ideological grupului, a fost acela care a ales numele grupului, format in 2001, numita fenomen al scenei europene. Muzica Ronin cuprinde elemente de jazz, clasica, funk, ambient si muzica rituala japoneza. Sinteza exotica a diferitelor genuri, unite de credo-ul artistic - ascetism si extaz -, constituie textura organica a muzicii lui Ronin, marcand si un stil nou de jazz cameral, creat de Nik Bartsch - RITUAL GROOVE MUSIC. In muzica Ronin, pe care liderul formatiei a numit-o “zen-funk”, muzicienii, folosind diverse instrumente, urmeaza aceleasi viziuni estetice, creand un efect maxim prin mijloace minime. Principiul artistic al lui Nik Bartsch este evident nu numai in muzica lui, dar si in titlurile compozitiilor. Toate sunt numite Moduli (numai numarul de ordine este schimbat ), venind sa confirme ideea muzicii pure. Nik Bartsch a absolvit scoala muzicala din Zurich in anul 1997. In 1989-2001 studiaza filosofia, lingvistica si muzicologia la universitatea din Zurich. In 2003-2004 are un sejur in Japonia. Este pianist si compozitor al propriului RITUAL GROOVE MUSIC, este liderul cvintetului zen-funk RONIN (din 2001, impreuna cu Kaspar Rast, Bjorn Meyer, Andi Pupato si Sha) si MOBILE (din 1997). Este profesor de Estetica Practica la scoala muzicala din Zurich/Winterthur (2000-2003). Din 1999, este detinatorul a numeroase premii, inclusiv al premiului pentru prioritate in jazz, acordat in 2006 de catre Consiliul Suedez al Artelor. Andi Pupato a studiat percutia la Zurich, mai tirziu invata la scoala
profesionala de muzica Ignasio Cenvantes din Havana, Cuba si cu Jose Luis
“Changuito” in Quintana. In 1994, Andi a
plecat la Senegal
cu Bilal Kounta si formatia lui, „Dougou-Fana”, unde a studiat percutia traditionala
africana. In prezent este percutionist in diverse formatii nationale si internationale
(cu Andreas Vollenweider, printre altii) si este un muzician de studiou activ. Printre

Saskia Laroo – trumpet Saskia Laroo, coined in America by press and public as 'Lady Miles Davis of Europe', is one of the few women (Valaida Snow, Clora Bryant, Barbara Donald and Ingrid Jensen) playing trumpet. Saskia Laroo combines today's music by uncontrived romps into new styles, eagerly labelled as "nu jazz" or "swingin' body-music"- a vivacious blend of hip-hop, jazz, salsa, funk, reggae, a world that many other artists dare not venture in.

Marc Egea - hurdy-gurdy “We come from different musical styles – folk, classical, jazz, rock,
experimental... At the point of creating the band KaulaKau we were not
interested in putting all these styles into a bag and fusing them, although
this would have been one possible point of departure, but rather in beginning
by playing and undertaking an adventure without trying to second guess too many
elements. The result, therefore, has been completely unpredictable and at the
same time spontaneous. And that’s why we can’t really tell you at the end of
the day exactly what is our musical style....this is simply the music of
KaulaKau.” By these words the group presented their music, but the press wrote: “Original, modern, daring, unusual,
ferocious, insatiable, delicate, concentrated, light... the music of Kaulakau
is all of these things. Neither folk nor jazz: jazz-folk.” (Discmedi) Marc Egea has collaborated with various groups - the trio “Musics de Safeu”, with one of Europe's most prestigious folk groups “El pont d'Arcalis”, in the medieval music group “Faidit” and electro-acoustic band “Electrosonic Monk”. Beside the “Kaulakau” group, he is the founder of a number of traditional and experimental music groups like the “Symphonia Hurdy Gurdy quartet”, Trio “Maram”, duo with Peter Skuce, duo with Cati Plana. Marc composed music for his projects and for brass bands, symphonic bands, chamber music ensembles, pieces for choir, music for contemporary dance, poetry recitals and theatrical shows. He has recorded a dozen or more discs, either as a soloist, as a member of several groups or as a guest artist. Jordi Molina has played as solist in the groups “Els Montgrins” and “Maravella”. He has collaborated with the Lluis Vidal trio, Albert Guinovart, Manel Camp, Santi Arisa, Carlo Rizzo, Jose de Udaeta, “Companyia Electrica Dharma”, “Orquestra Sinfonica del Valles”, “Orquestra Simfonica de Barcelona” and the “Orquestra Nacional de Catalunya”. As a composer he has created some thirty sardanas, cobla music, choral, chamber music and arrangements for TV shows. He has won the OBP Award for Innovative Performance (2000) and the Ramon Serrat Prize for young composers (1992). With groups where he has performed as a soloist he has recorded more than seventy discs covering music of various styles. As a composer and soloist he has released seven CDs. Franco Molinari is professor of double bass at the Conservatory of Vic. He worked in ethnic music with the group “Nebeda”, being a founder member and composer of the majority of their repertoire.

„Noi venim din diferite stiluri muzicale – folclor, clasica, jazz, rock, muzica experimentala… La momentul crearii formatiei KaulaKau nu aveam interesul sa punem toate aceste stiluri intr-un sac si sa le imbinam, desi acesta ar fi fost un punct de pornire posibil; am inceput sa cantam si sa ne aventuram fara a incerca sa ghicim din start prea multe elemente. Rezultatul, prin urmare, a fost total imprevizibil si in acelasi timp spontan. Iata de cei nu putem sa va spunem exact care este stilul nostru muzical… este muzica KaulaKau.” Astfel vorbesc muzicantii despre muzica lor, si iata ce scrie presa: „Originala, moderna, indrazneata, neobisnuita, feroce, nestapanita, delicata, concentrata, usoara… muzica KaulaKau le are pe toate. Nici folclor si nici jazz: jazz-folk ” (Discmedi) Marc Egea a colaborat cu diverse formatii precum trio „Musics de Safeu”, cu una din cele mai prestigioase formatii folclorice din Europa “El pont d'Arcalis”, cu trupa de muzica medievala „Faidit” si formatia electro-acustica „Electrosonic Monk”.

Ulrich Drechsler - bass clarinet "Music has the power to express anything that can't be said in
words. It can reflect the full existence, the heart, soul and mind of any human
being. The more honest it should be." (Ulrich Drechsler) Since 1999 Ulrich Drechsler is working in Vienna as a freelance composer and musician. He chose the bass clarinet as his main instrument. The broad experiences made in his student years mirrors in his versatile projects. His trio Cafe Drechsler caused
international furore. For their third album the group received the Austrian
Amadeus Award in 2005. In 2001 the group released an adaption of Franz
Schubert's song cycle "Die Winterreise" for jazz quartet. Being strongly fond of the music of Thelonious Monk, he created the group and the CD “The Monk In All Of Us”. This album has been nominated for the prestigious Hans Koller Award in 2005. With his fantastic Quartet,
featuring Oliver Steger, Jörg Mikula and the extraordinairy Norwegian piano
player Tord Gustavsen or with his “Ulrich Drechsler Trio” he creates the music
in which “...human emotions play a
central role. Not the all-important dramatic incidents, but the daily
mysteries, these little things that affect us quietly, compassionately,
tenderly... . Drechsler looks for the esthetics in melody and performance and
he succeeds well in this endeavour. His playing is great, subtle, full of
nuance and emotional depth.” Free
jazz review" Bassist and composer Oliver Steger is playing with Ulrich since 1999 being an
experienced partner of many music projects at the Vienna jazz scene, presents
himself as a sensitive sideman and an excellent soloist. Jorg Mikula has received music education studying jazz drums in Êunstuniversitat in Graz in Austria and in the Berklee Music College in Boston, Massachusetts. Playing in diverse projects he has got the reputation of a highly professional and a serious musician.
“Muzica are puterea de exprima ceea ce nu poate fi spus in cuvinte. Poate reflecta intreaga existenta, inima, sufletul si gindul oricarei fiinte umane. Anume de aceea trebuie sa fie de o sinceritate totala.” (Ulrich Drechsler) Din 1999 Ulrich Drechsler lucreaza in Viena ca musician si compositor al trioului sau Cafe Drechsler care a starnit furori internationale. In 2005 trupa a primit premiul austriac Amadeus pentru al treilea album. In cvartetul Poesis, Ulrich Drechsler se dedica muzicii clasice. In 2001 formatia a realizat o adaptare a ciclului vocal "Die Winterreise" de Franz Schubert pentru cvartetul de jazz "Nebensonnen". Pasionat de muzica lui Thelonious Monk, el a inregistrat un album cu denumirea „The Monk In All Of Us” care a fost nominalizat in 2005 la prestigiosul premiu Hans Koller. Cu
cvartetul sau fantastic, alaturi de Oliver Steger, Jörg Mikula si extraordinarul pianist norvegian Tord
Gustavsen sau cu “Ulrich Drechsler Trio” el
creeaza o muzica in care „emotiile umane
joaca un rol central. Nu toate incidentele dramatice importante, ci misterele zilnice,
lucrurile mici care ne afecteaza, discret, cu compasiune, tandru … . Drechser
