www.markkoch.ch www.facebook.com/pages/Mark-Koch-Trio/174636835923899 The pianist Mark Koch has been an integral part of the Swiss jazz scene for nearly thirty years now. As stylistic compartmentalisations have always been a complete anathema to him, he has not been averse to also letting himself be heard occasionally in a spectrum of genres including fusion and Latin music. In 2005, he formed the Mark Koch Trio with whom he has performed around 50 concerts to date. After their first CD "Red, Blue and Green", released at the start of May 2006 by the renowned Swiss jazz label 'Brambus Records', met with widespread acclaim, their second CD "Soundscape" has now also been released. The trio is garnering ever-greater recognition nationally and internationally, which their concerts in the Q4 Rheinfelden, one of Switzerland’s most famous jazz clubs, in the spring of 2011 and in the Budapest Jazz Club in the forthcoming autumn attest to. The musicians forming the trio are Mark Koch (piano), Sarah Zaugg (electric bass) and Peter Fischer (drums). Previously, Mark Koch and Peter Fischer toured with the legendary funk-jazz group "Twice a Week", amongst others. Sarah Zaugg plays with :Stefan Schroff Trio (instrumental Rock), Tellit (Singer-Songwriter), BigMatt BigBand (Soul-Funk-Jazz), The Catamaran (Stoner Rock). Since Spring 2011 she has her own Project "Dance Now, Think Later!". The trio masterfully blends jazz with ambient sounds, and combines hard-bob elements with fusion rh
