The Arts Global Jazz Quartet of Switzerland This great Jazz Quartet is based in Switzerland, but its members' origins are Swiss, Italian and German. The Quartet consists of a saxophone, piano, drums and bass, which favor the interpretation of a large number of Jazz classics, and also the Quartet’s own compositions. The four musicians have planned a very interesting repertoire for their concerts at KAUST. Indeed, their program will take us on a voyage through the history of Jazz from the 1920s to now. http://www.artsglobal.org/en/events/ The Arts Global Jazz Quartet of Switzerland in Saudi Arabia Repertoire for January 30 Wild Cat Blues (1920) Caravan(1937) Skylark (1942) Route 66 (1942) Tin Tin Deo (1951) Dexterity Sandu (1955) So What (1959) Desafinado The Days of Wine & Roses(1962) Cantaloup Island (1965) Run For Cover (1980) Armoiries (1994) Seb (2012) + personal compositions
