For over ten years, Sarah Chaksad has enriched the European jazz scene with larger to big formations. The Swiss alto and soprano saxophonist and composer is celebrated internationally for her productions and concerts. “The concert was a real triumph. Chaksad's writing and arranging is first class and the enthusiasm shown by the band was very evident,” noted Jazzwise in January 2023 about a concert in Iceland.

“Sarah Chaksad's pieces skillfully juggle with insistent motifs, muted sounds, and gentle layering,” stated Jazz Thing in 2019, and Jazzpodium highlighted her “sophisticated compositional tricks with numerous thematic cross-references within the pieces, performance-oriented theme processing, and finely nuanced, thoroughly composed backgrounds of the improvisations.” Weltwoche attested to Chaksad “a distinctive, subtle musical handwriting” and referred to George Gruntz and Mathias Rüegg, while the magazine Rondo praised: “Her strength lies in differentiated, well-crafted, carefully considered scores, in which she virtuously plays with the tonal colors of her ensemble.”

Sarah Chaksad was awarded the renowned JTI Jazz Award last year. Her brilliant award-winning concert in Trier became her ticket to the Jazz Club Wittlich. (https://www.sarahchaksad.com/)
