Discographic notes
JHM Records released his debut album “Levitation” in 1999 with his quartet (pianist Jean-Paul Brodbeck , bassist Fabian Gisler and drummer Dominic Egli ), followed by “Wanderlust” in 2003 with Pirouet Records . On “Levitation” he mainly plays his own compositions and those of his pianist. In 2010 the album "New Brighton" was released, also on Pirouet Records. In addition to Landolf himself (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet, alto flute), Patrice Moret plays bass and Dejan Terzic plays drums and glockenspiel. What is remarkable about this album is the lack of a harmony instrument .
