Nik B?rtsch's Ronin: Live
by Dan McClenaghan
Swiss pianist Nik B?rtsch and his group Ronin joined the ECM Records roster in 2006 with their label debut, Stoa. Since then they have produced a new ECM set every two years, with Holon (2008), Llyría (2010), and now their first recorded-in-concert set for the label, the double-disc Live. Ronin's music has been called ...
Nik B?rtsch's Ronin: Live
by John Kelman
Change can be good, though there's often a sense of loss when a significant adjustment happens. Honing his very specific Ritual Groove/Zen Funk music for more than a decade, Swiss pianist Nik B?rtsch was hit with a particularly big change when Ronin's founding bassist, Bj?rn Meyer, left in 2011 to pursue personal projects. The more recent ...
Sha's Feckel: Greatest Hits
by John Kelman
With Stoa (ECM, 2006), the world at large was introduced to Nik Bärtsch and his hypnotic, booty-shaking Zen Funk. But the Swiss pianist's rapid ascendance, thanks to the international reach and reputation of ECM Records, was only the tip of the iceberg. Not only had B?rtsch released six previous albums since 2001, on his own Ronin ...

Mik Keusen's Blau: Nalu
by Greg Simmons
Mik Keusen's Blau clearly articulates a musical vision. A typical jazz lineup--piano, bass, drums, and reeds--Nalu spawns music that is anything but typical. Instead, it is post-modern and ambient, with almost industrial rhythmic drive. Nalu is as far from the core of blues and standard-based jazz as Pluto is from the sun. Tightly composed ...
Mik Keusen's Blau: Nalu
by John Kelman
With the sudden appearance of pianist Nik Bärtsch and Stoa (ECM, 2006), a new musical paradigm emerged from Switzerland: a rigorous musical aesthetic combining post-Steve Reichian minimalism with funk and cross-cultural tinges of Japan and Indonesia. B?rtsch's music actually dates back to the early part of the millennium, but it was ECM's attention that gave the ...
