about

Sarah Chaksad Songlines is the first album of the septet around Lisette Spinnler, Hildegunn Øiseth, Pepe Auer, Malcolm Braff, Marc Mezgolits, Gregor Hilbe and bandleader Sarah Chaksad. Sarah gathered unique musicians from Switzerland, Norway and Austria around her back in 2018.
«I was looking for people with strong musical character,» she says. «I had played with all of them individually many times before, so I was sure we would also fit well together as a band.»
​
The album contains lyrical, poetic pieces whose content revolves around themes such as humility or coming home. Sarah Chaksad had them in mind for some time. "I wrote them pretty quickly, like songs," she says. Because she usually spends a long time tweaking complex arrangements, including for her own orchestra, she really enjoyed being able to move a little more freely for once, both as a composer and as a player, in the context of this septet. "The energy of this band is strong," Sarah says. "Everyone puts themselves out there, adding whatever brings the most to the music. When we play live, it feels like flying."
