Shuteen Erdenebaatar, piano // Simon Comté, sax // Nils Kugelmann, bass // Amir Bresler, drums
Not only has the sun risen > pianist and composer Shuteen Erdenebaatar, with Bright Folk, writes a new chapter after the internationally celebrated debut Rising Sun (has been awarded both the German Jazz Prize and the Mongolian Mungun Mod Cultural Prize). Her approach unites classical formation, Jazz-Current, Mongolian heritage, and European aesthetics into a clear, powerful musical language. The internationally assembled quartet lets their lyrical compositions grow into arresting soundscapes where backgrounds, preferences, and experiences positively collide to create tension. After an extended tour cycle, Bright Folk presents mature, resilient, warm, and hopeful music that turns personal stories into gripping colourings and speaks of inner strength and the light we carry into the world.
