Swiss London-Based producer and accordion phenomenon Anatole Muster
At only 22 years of age, Swiss London-Based producer and accordion phenomenon Anatole Muster has already gained critical praise from both musicians and fans alike. His unique approach to modern jazz got featured by Jamie Cullum on his BBC 2 radio show and made him collaborate with genre-bending heavyweights just as Tennyson, Kiefer or Louis Cole.
Anatole’s music has propelled him to perform worldwide, including shows at Montreux Jazz Autumn of Music festival, Rio Montreux Jazz Festival, M4Music Switzerland, a sold-out Minaret Records-Show in Los Angeles and two sold-out performances at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, to name a few.
Anatole’s new album, “Wonderful now”, scheduled for release on April 19th, showcases a remarkable musical diversity by an artist with an exceptional background. In these 28 minutes of music, Anatole emancipates from the confines of traditional genre and explores the multitude of sounds that have made him love music so much. Anatole journeys through jazz and hyperpop all the way to emotional dance and trap with seamless fluidity all while remaining faithful to the improvisatory nature of jazz. Anatole’s unique voice, the accordion is skilfully weaved into the music, adding his unmistakable electrifying melodic phrasing into every composition.
