Although this quartet has a very classic jazz line-up, Shuteen Erdenebaatar manages to give this format a fresh, modern touch. The quartet is grounded by the young but first-class Munich bassist, the rhythmically and melodically outstanding all-rounder Nils Kugelmann, and the powerful, yet sensitive drumming of Amir Bresler. The creative and highly virtuoso Jan Prax completes the ensemble on saxophones and flute. The quartet's debut album "Rising Sun" was released in 2023 on the New York-based, multi-Grammy-winning label Motéma Music. With outstanding reviews and 40 enthusiastically acclaimed performances, Erdenebaatar's quartet quickly rose to the top league of the German jazz scene. Simply a dream - music full of detailed beauties, like a quiet journey of discovery. Always new moods and timbres. And worlds. Their music has far more facets than the lyrical and finely curved. She can also develop a lot of energy – and casually show what impeccable experts the band members are. But none of these plays are about showing off skills. This is communicated by the way. They are mainly about the strongest thing that music can do: turning feelings into sounds.
