Fabienne Ambuehl – presented by North Devon Jazz Club
MESMERISING SOUNDSCAPE FROM SWISS PIANIST
Swiss pianist and singer Fabienne Ambuehl is known for her vibrant contemporary jazz, weaving together elements of poetry and storytelling. Her debut album “Glitterwoods’ was named Album of the Year by UK Vibe and her latest album ‘Thrive’ won Jazz Recording of The Year at the 2025 Presto Music Awards . On 19 October she will be appearing with her quartet at North Devon Jazz Club in The Beaver, Appledore.
With fluid, expressive piano playing and emotive vocals, Fabienne’s sound is lyrical and rich in detail, drawing inspiration from both the natural world and urban life. Marked by compelling rhythms and influences, ranging from blues and Brahms to The Beatles, the band creates music that is daring yet intimate and truly its own. To quote Jazzwise Magazine “Ambuehl crafts a mesmerising soundscape that seamlessly blends songs and instrumentals’ while critic Nick Lea in Jazzviews UK praised Ambuehl ‘as a fine pianist, wonderful singer and a composer of note.’
Completing the quartet will be the top rank guitarist Ant Law, multi-award winning bassist Ewan Hastie and excellent drummer Jon Scott.
The gig is at 8:30pm and is hosted by the North Devon Jazz Club. Keep up the good work NDJC. There is no entrance fee, however a collection is taken for the band. For a meal booking phone The Beaver on 01237 474822.
