The SAM TRUEMPY MEMORIAL JAZZ COALITION is a transatlantic jazz group dedicated to the musical legacy of Swiss jazz pioneer Sam Truempy and consists of eight professional jazz musicians (three alumnus of the world-renowned Berklee College of Music among them) from Switzerland, the U.S.A and Canada.
The band did a successful concert tour of Switzerland in August/ September 2007. The last concert of that tour was recorded by sound engineer Patrik Schwitter who is also famous for his recording of the very last performance of Sun Ra & his Arkestra.
The CD will be released in Nov 2009 by ALTRISUONI RECORDS, at present time the most important jazz recording label in Switzerland. The CD-release concert will take place on Nov 28, 2009 in the Kunsthaus Glarus.
