Pascal Schumacher Quartet

Pascal Schumacher Quartet


Pascal Schumacher, an established representative of the new generation of vibraphone players is a young jazz musician & composer, based in Brussels and Luxembourg.

The "Pascal Schumacher 4tet" was formed back in 2002 at the legendary Sounds Jazz Club in Brussels. As a band leader Pascal surrounds himself today with the strongly talented German piano player Franz von Chossy (living and working in Amsterdam) and with the excellent rhythm section composed of the Belgian double bass player Christophe Devisscher and the German drummer Jens Düppe. Up to now the band was playing on 5 continents and in many countries reaching the hearts of thousands of people. The 4tet released five albums: Change Of The Moon (2004), Personal Legend (2005), and Silbergrau (2007) for IGLOO Records Here we Gong (2009) and their current opus Bang my Can (2011) for Enja Records.

The music can be described as modern acoustic evocative jazz. At the moment of initiating improvisation, the musicians develop a strong force of attraction with a defined sonority, infatuating and charming, playing through jazz monuments and personal compositions, where every musician invites the other to keep on challenging musical frontiers. Clear melodic motifs, gloomy and bright, floating on melancholic waves, in other words music rich of imagination and expression, filled with altering emotions, going from soothing to violent, always with passion.
