Zürcher Theater Spektakel

Jazz for the entire family? Yes, that’s possible. Especially when Bernese singer and vocal acrobat Andreas Schaerer and his sextet go about it with kettledrum, tuba and trumpets. The double bass is exploited to the full, with beatboxing followed by an instrumental solo. It booms, wobbles, squeaks and dribbles as strings and keys are enthusiastically attacked. Full of buoyancy, virtuosity, punning and slapstick – rarely has jazz been such fun. (ron/esc)
