Omri bricks
Omri Ziegele (* 1959 in Rehovot , Israel ) is a Swiss alto saxophonist of free jazz .
Live and act
After early childhood in a kibbutz , he grew up in Zurich and initially played the clarinet. At the Kantonsschule Rämibühl , where Harald Haerter and Dieter Ulrich were among his classmates, he discovered jazz and the saxophone, with which he was self-taught . After graduating from high school, he spent some time in London before studying in Boston at Berklee College of Music , where he was influenced by Bob Mover and Chris Biscoe . He led his own bands, played in the alternative circus Federlos and created theater music. The focus of Brick's work since 1996 has been the Billiger Bauer octet , with whom he regularly appears in the workshop for improvised music in Zurich in an unusual line-up (including two bassists and two drummers); In some cases, this formation is expanded to include other musicians such as Daniel Studer or Simon Picard to become large farmers . He has been working with Irène Schweizer since the late 1990s , initially in a duo, later expanded to include the South African drummer Makaya Ntshoko ; Where Is Africa also performed with the trombonist and singer Siya Makuzeni from South Africa ( Jazzfestival Münster 2011). He also plays with Noisy Minority & Squake and in the Theiler- Ziegele-Jeger-Wolfahrt quartet .
