Swiss Musician/Composer Stephan Sieber has released his new album that features some unique musicians in a wonderful sonic setting.
Signs was founded by Swiss drummer/composer Stephan Sieber in 1986. His intention was to create a laboratory where he could develop his musical language.
The original cast were the American tenor- saxophonist Dave Peterson, German pianist Frieder Lang on keyboards, Daniel Fricker on bass and Sieber on drums. Quickly the band had a certain renommee for their original material and their innovative approach to the jazz repertoire.
When the club business started to slow down in the nineties, Stephan Sieber worked mainly as stage musician and composer for stage music. But he re-vitalized Signs from time to time as a vehicle for his musical journeys. In 1994 he recorded Signs & Songs with David Klein, Nikki Reiser, Olivier Truan and Benoit Gabain. The CD was distributed by Quantaphon and Pool Media & Music.
Through the years the music changed as the musicians did. From 2003 to 2010 Sieber lead the house-band at the Culturium Jazz- & Socialclub, a legendary venue in Basle closed in 2010. After all these years as a sidemen playing the band book, he felt that it was time working on his original music again. But the music he had in mind needed some extraordinary players and it took some time to get their schedules coordinated. Finally the recordings started in 2013 with all these great musicians on board.
