Patricija Škof - Arboria (2026) [Hi-Res]

The new Swiss large ensemble "arboria," emerging from the Basel jazz scene, unites fourteen classical, jazz, and improvisational musicians. The project's creative concept is centered around the lyrical compositions of vocalist Patricija Škof. In 2024, composers Sofia Will, Corrado Cerutti, and Álvaro Ocón expanded her intimate trio pieces into multifaceted, large-scale arrangements for ensemble and strings. The collective's successful sold-out concert debut blended intricate written scores with expressive jazz improvisation. Following a recording session at Jazzcampus Studios, the ensemble's debut album is scheduled for release on May 22nd via stssts records.
