AZOLIA
Rainer Maria Rilke's language, AZOLIA's music
Belgian vocalist and composer Sophie Tassignon, German-American alto saxophonist, clarinetist, vocalist, and composer Susanne Folk, German bass clarinetist and soprano saxophonist Lothar Ohlmeier, and Swiss double bassist Andreas Waelti draw on a wealth of experience and a shared musical language that moves beyond familiar jazz conventions. Together they form the international quartet AZOLIA.
AZOLIA is known for its thoughtful arrangements, transparent textures, unmistakable sonic identity, and deep sensitivity to poetry. Without drums, but with ample space for refined musical interaction, the ensemble explores human longing, doubt, and possibility.
To mark the 100th anniversary of Rainer Maria Rilke’s death in 2026, AZOLIA presents a new program that delicately weaves selected Rilke poems into chamber-jazz compositions. In their interpretations, Rilke’s language becomes newly audible – fragile, luminous, and full of resonance. Carried by their subtle, airy, and deeply felt music, the concert will surely move, unsettle and offer hope.
Moods and the renowned Swiss jazz label UNIT Records join forces with "UNIT live!" to share the diversity of UNIT jazz. We will be showcasing the diversity of UNIT jazz by bringing the latest releases from the UNIT universe to the Moods stage at regular intervals.
