Yvonne Moriel Quartet
Yvonne Moriel – alto saxophone, flute
Lorenz Widauer – trumpet
Stephanie Weninger – Moog synthesizer, keyboards
Raphael Vorraber – drums
The Tyrol-born saxophonist Yvonne Moriel can comfortably be called one of the rising stars in Austrian jazz in recent years. She has graced the bands of Christoph Cech, Christian Muthspiel, and Ralph Mothwurf as a member and soloist, and she has also been making herself known as a bandleader: in 2020 she released her EP “Dreamers“, quickly following it up with 2021’s “Sweet Life“. The two records blend jazz with dub, hip-hop, and electronic sounds as a setting for her striking saxophone improvisations.
On December 14th, she will be joined at the RadioCafe in Vienna by Salzburg trumpet talent Lorenz Widauer, Stephanie Weninger on Moog and keyboards, and Raphael Vorraber on drums.
Concert: Friday, December 14th, 8 p.m. @ RadioCafe.
