British sax giant Evan Parker meets Swiss tenor and soprano explorer Urs Leimgruber in an album of intertwining sax discussion using an unusual and unique language.

The Ember quartet's 2nd release recorded during the 2008 Ahornfelder Festival in Leipzig, an amazing live/studio album of distinct and clearly separated structured improvisations.

The first album from 2006 of the Ember electro-acoustic improvising chamber jazz-oriented quartet of Urs Leimgruber on soprano & tenor saxophones, Alexander Schubert on guitar, electronics & percussion, Oliver Schwerdt on piano, percussion, guitar & electronics, and Christian Lillinger on drums & percussion; an album of insightful and meticulous interaction.

Recorded live in 2004, Quartet Noir unites Urs Leimgruber, Marilyn Crispell, Joelle Leandre, and Fritz Hauser in deep long-form improvisations, where vivid detail and patient interaction shape evolving structures, balancing unpredictability with a cohesive, resonant group sound born of longstanding collaboration.
