Samuel Blaser Routes
A fusion of ska, reggae and jazz into a joyful, groove-driven sound full of energy and depth
With ROUTES, Swiss trombonist Samuel Blaser — winner of the Prix du Musicien Européen and named a DownBeat Rising Star — brings the legacy of Jamaican trombonist Don Drummond and the Skatalites vividly back to life. Joined by fellow musicians Alex Wilson, Ira Coleman and Dion Parson, Blaser fuses ska, reggae and jazz into a joyful, groove-driven sound full of energy and depth.
The eponymous album was released on ENJA/Yellowbird in 2023, featuring guests Soweto Kinch, Michael Blake, Carroll Thompson and — in one of his final studio appearances — Lee "Scratch" Perry. Critics hailed it as "a thoughtful and engaging tribute" to Drummond's legacy.
On stage, the band keeps that tribute evolving: in 2026 ROUTES premiered new repertoire at Jardins Musicaux, with further European festival dates to follow in 2027.ROUTES is an invitation to dance, reflect and celebrate — Jamaican musical history, reimagined by an international all-star lineup.
