The music of the Modus Quartet is a fabric produced through the interweaving of various threads of world music. It interlaces vibrant Mediterranean flair and varying folklore sounds with jazz to create a colourful, lively musical carpet.
Omri Hason’s sensitive performance with his calm, rhythmic pulse builds bridges between Wege Wüthrich’s subtle clarinet and saxophone dialogue and Antonello Messina’s accordion. Lorenz Beyeler’s swinging, funky and punchy double bass rounds everything off in style.
Exciting oriental rhythms, playing of the highest standard, virtuosity, hypnotic grooves – an intoxicating mixture of fresh music that encompasses a complex spectrum of feelings, ranging from melancholy to joyousness.
‹The Modus Quartet of Omri Hason (percussion), Wege Wüthrich (saxophone), Lorenz Beyeler (double bass) and Antonello Messina presents fresh ‹oriental jazz› which unfortunately is heard far too seldom. Poetry and experiment … added up to the perfect blend.› Thomas Burkhalter, Norilent.com
