“Kira Linn is a very talented young baritone saxophonist,” writes Jorge Rossy. “In her compositions, she explores the language of jazz while developing her own distinctive musical vision.” Linn, who lives in Cologne, Germany, formed her three-wind-plus-rhythm sextet, the Linntett, in 2016. After releasing two modern jazz albums (2017 “Nature” , Double Moon Records, 2020 “A Traveller’s Tale”, Laika Records), the band is now taking a slightly different musical path. The Linntett now combines the acoustic sound of alto, tenor and baritone saxophone with the electronic sound of electric bass, synthesizers and Rhodes and electronic effects. Pulsating beats and synthetic sound clouds take the listener on a musical journey through different emotional worlds.Kira Linn (baritone sax, b-cl, comp), Nino Wenger (alto sax, fl), Christopher Kunz (tenor & soprano sax), Lukas Großmann (p), Freek Mulder (b), Johannes Koch (dr)
