CPM Sebastián Durón

P.C.R. Trio is a formation that blends tradition and modernity within contemporary jazz. The members met during their time in Barcelona and, now reunited in Basel, have developed a sound based on fluid interaction, improvisation, and ever-changing energy.

Their repertoire includes both original compositions and jazz standards, offering a constantly evolving proposal. In every performance, they present new material and explore different approaches, adapting to the moment and keeping their music fresh and dynamic.

The trio operates as a space for musical exchange, where each member contributes their voice to build a solid and expressive sound. Their flexible approach allows them to adapt to various contexts, always maintaining a genuine connection with the audience and delivering unique and varied performances.

This band is very active over Basel, performing every month in different locations of the city such a WaZou, Finkmuller or Jazzcampus Club.

Ryuji Uchida 4et

The quintet, born at the prestigious Jazzcampus in Basel (Switzerland), is a vibrant ensemble that combines a profound passion for jazz with exceptional talent. Comprising Javier Rojo (saxophone), Álvaro Ocón (trumpet), Noé Sécula (piano), Joan Codina (double bass), and Genius Wesley (drums), this group of young virtuosos offers a captivating and soulful musical experience, as consistently recognized by audiences during their tours and by critics following the release of their debut album.

The quintet’s repertoire consists of original music composed by Javier and other members of the band. Their collective musicality blends a wide array of timbres and textures, creating immersive soundscapes that deeply resonate with listeners. Melody takes center stage, drawing influences from classic jazz to avant-garde sounds, while also incorporating elements of classical music, flamenco, and pop. This rich tapestry of influences is conveyed through the group’s vibrant energy, rhythmic dynamism, a

Charanga Gintonica

An explosive combination of swing, Jamaican rhythms, powerful horn riffs, surprising arrangements and a lot of energy. Their repertoire consists of iconic songs from the golden age of soul, Latin and rock, as well as timeless chart hits.

Their live show, energetic and vital, revives the desire to dance and enjoy live music. Now, they present their second album Conclave (Skapulari Records, 2022), with a show full of surprises that is closer to the staging of a play than to a purely musical concert.

And here we go! Now I’m studying with professor François Benda, who is one of the most famous and one of the best teachers in the whole Europe and even a world! 
I’ve already passed all musical theory exams on the high grade! (5.9 out of 6.0), so, I have a lot of time to work on my clarinet level and to teach my students.☺️

Here, as in MSM, I was a student of a legendary Charles Neidich. 

For one year, I became a student of MSM. 
It was a great time, but there was COVID-19… 
For this year, I’ve had honour to be a student of a really great professors! I’ve learned American music theory system here and many other subjects. 

MSM NYC

It is one of the most famous, oldest and strongest music schools in Russia. During my education, I worked with a legendary teachers, such as Irina Rodzevich, who was a student of Elena Gnessina. She studied with Evgeni Svetlanov and many other legendary musicians! 
So, it’s a big advantage that I learned all here.
