For more than forty years now Swiss trumpeter Peter Schärli has been performing on stage. In Switzerland, of course, and in surrounding Europe, but also at festivals across half the globe, in Asia, Africa, and South America.

The Peter Schärli Trio featuring Glenn Ferris has compositions in their repertoire that sound simple and singable but have hidden rough edges, challenging even for an all-round master like trombonist Glenn Ferris. Pieces that make wonderful musicians like pianist Hans-Peter Pfammatter, bassist Thomas Dürst, and of course Peter Schärli himself, happy.

Glenn Ferris belongs to the few world class musicians who can claim to have played with the brilliant Frank Zappa: When he was a very young trombonist he was a member of the small Wazoo Orchestra, which played some of the best and most complex compositions of Zappa. Since he was sixteen years old, Ferris is a professional player and his discography as leader or sideman surpasses well over hundred CDs and reads like a who’s who of the jazz and pop history: From Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, Tim Buckley and the Average White Band to Don Ellis, Quincy Jones, Art Pepper, Tony Scott, Archie Shepp and Billy Cobham to John Scofield, Michel Petrucciani and the Brecker Brothers.
