Samuel Blaser is one of the most prolific voices in jazz, with 34 recordings as leader or co-leader since 2008. With his latest, highly personal album Rosina, named after his grandmother, he draws from Italian folk melodies and reconnects deeply with his family roots in Emilia-Romagna.
Within his quartet, Blaser is surrounded by pianist Russ Lossing, drummer Billy Mintz, and double bassist Masa Kamaguchi — long-time companions who create the wide open spaces, fiery exchanges, and sudden lyrical intimacy that characterize Samuel Blaser's work.
