Leider war bei dem Doppelkonzert nur eine Band da, weil die andere (unverschuldet) nicht kommen konnte! Nik Bärtsch spielte dafür beide Teile! Das Konzert war musikalisch sehr hochwertig und spannend! Tolle Musiker und eigenwillige innovative Musik! Leider wurde das Versprechen die 90 Minuten (was eh nicht sonderlich lang ist) durchzuspielen nicht erfüllt, nach 75 Minuten war, nach einer Zugabe, Schluss, trotz anderer Ankündigungen des Künstlers und des Veranstalters, schade!

About Nik Bärtsch's Ronin
Nik Bärtsch's Ronin is a Swiss jazz-Band from Zurich. It was founded in 2001 by the Swiss pianist, composer and producer Nik Bärtsch (born 1971). All Ronin releases are part of Nik Baertsch's RITUAL GROOVE MUSIC cycle, which combines various musical styles from funk, new classical music to elements of Japanese ritual music. The insistent rhythms also suggest the minimalism of Steve Reich. Bärtsch has called their style "Zen-Funk".
The ZEN-FUNK quintet RONIN was founded in 2001, consisting of Nik Baertsch (composition, piano, fender rhodes), Kaspar Rast (drums), Björn Meyer (bass), Andi Pupato (percussion) and Sha (bass- and contrabass clarinet). Their RITUAL GROOVE MUSIC consistently follows the same aesthetic vision under various instrumental guises: creating the maximum effect by minimal means. Besides, Bärtsch performs as a solo artist and with the acoustic group Nik Bärtsch's Mobile. Ronin tends to be the more flexible formation and plays the compositions more freely.
Bärtsch's earlier projects were released on Ronin Rhythm Records. In 2006 Bärtsch was signed to ECM and has released two albums with Ronin.
