About this concert
RONIN sind seit über zwanzig Jahren erfolgreich auf der ganzen Welt unterwegs. Seitdem folgen wir der Spur von Nik Bärtsch und der Band mit Kaspar Rast am Schlagzeug, Jeremias Keller am Bass und Sha am Altosax und der Bassklarinette. Manchmal aus der Ferne, manchmal nah dran, immer mit dem Wunsch den Kosmos dieser Musik zu verstehen und Menschen die Möglichkeit zu geben sie kennenzulernen. Nach einer ausgedehnten USA/Canada - Tour kommt Nik Bärtsch mit seinem Kernprojekt Ronin, im Rahmen des Schwyzer Kulturwochenedes nach Einsiedeln in den Mauz Music-Club. Bärtsch bezeichnet seine Musik als «Ritual Groove Music». Am Konzert ist das Publikum also automatisch auch wichtiger Teil von einem Ritual. Das bewusste Zuhören schafft Verbindungsraum für die Musik, Aufmerksamkeit und Spannung. Es entsteht Energie, die mit dem Publikum wiederum Teil der Musik wird. RONIN laden ein, zuzuhören, voll und ganz da zu sein, freudig im Groove zu versinken - und das auf höchstem musikalischem Level. Es ist uns eine Ehre.

Nik Bärtsch's Ronin Biography
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.
