Manon Mullener 5tet - Insomnia (2023)

For her second album, Insomnia, released in the spring of 2023, pianist Manon Mullener offers this time an album in 5tet. She is accompanied by a team of young musicians bursting with creativity: Lucien Mullener on drums, Samuel Urscheler on saxophone, Victor Decamp on trombone and Benjamin Jaton on double bass.

After a one-year stay in Cuba followed by a first album, Reflejos, which was part of a traditional deilatin jazz aesthetic, the young pianist-composer explores new horizons with Insomnia, without however abandoning the influences that have nurtured so far.

The Friborg pianist cultivates inspiration in the elements that surround her: a nocturnal walk, April snowfalls, a summer jam with friends or even... insomnia.

These musical explorations remain animated by the trademark of Manon: an overflowing energy and a groove that never fails. This new 5tet will not fail to make even the most timid dance!
