The ZKB Jazz Prize 2022, endowed with CHF 15,000, goes to the Bernese formation Bureau Bureau. The Louis Matute Large Ensemble from French-speaking Switzerland was awarded second place and also received the Audience Award.
Bureau Bureau is a duo consisting of Sonia Loenne (voc) and Michael Cina (dr/vib). They play experimental music with a focus on text. Current projects include a work for improvising orchestra on the subject of glacier melt, re-works for an ensemble of friends and a "Kirchenhall" program.
The competition for the ZKB Jazz Prize takes place as a festival at Zurich's Moods jazz club. The prizes include CHF 15,000 for first place and CHF 5,000 for second place. The prize money is to be used for the music; for studio productions, CD and label costs, for instruments, advertising or bookings.
