Tomas Sauter and Daniel Schlappi present their third album on Catwalk, The Summer I Was Ten. This album of duos has a delicate, intimate and compelling atmosphere whist being full of spontaneity, showing the artists’

love of life and joy of making music. Since their much appreciated first release Indian Summer in 2006 (CATWALK 060001) Tomas Sauter & Daniel Schlappi delighted their audience in numerous concerts. The debut album was sold out and had to be reissued before the fabulous duo presented its second release First Day in Spring in 2011 (CATWALK 110008) where they pursued the chosen path in a convincing manner.

In 2019 the two great players and tremendously inspired improvisers release their third album The Summer I Was Ten (CATWALK 190018). Their congenial playing, a trademark from the beginning of their collaboration, has matured over the years. Sauter and Schlappi let their intuition wander and one can hear by their interplay that they are two masters of their craft giving each other blind trust.

The music unfolds a wide array of musical themes, styles and ideas. It ranges from chamber jazz ballad-like pieces to hidden Blues, from impressionistic flows to detailed miniatures, from folk inspired connotations to smart, mischievous modern sound.
