Antonin Jaccard
Music is more than a passion, it is a way to touch people, to embrace the unexpected and to rediscover oneself again and again. Having grown up as a classical percussionist, Antonin found a new freedom in jazz. Antonin’s playing is characterized by refined harmonies, rhythmic inventiveness, and a constant search for spontaneity. He moves effortlessly between classical and jazz, which can be heard in his music.
