Franz Von Chossy - Mirror 9 (2025) [Hi-Res]

Franz von Chossy, a genre-crossing force in the jazz world, takes this profound psychological model and translates it into music with Mirror 9, a nine-part suite where each piece is dedicated to one of the Enneagram types.

Blending jazz with a variety of musical influences, Franz has crafted an evocative journey that invites listeners to find reflections of themselves—and those close to them—within these musical portraits. The suite encourages self-discovery, as experiencing each movement deepens empathy for the different ways we all think, feel, and behave. In a time of increasing polarisation, Mirror 9 offers a powerful reminder of our shared humanity and the potential for personal growth through understanding the qualities of each personality type.

The musicians he brought together for this project are not only among the top players in the Dutch jazz scene, but they also stand out for their genre-defying approach and open-mindedness, making them a perfect fit for this unique musical exploration.
