PINO ZORTEA
"JAZZKARUSSELL"

In the project "Pino Zortea Jazzkarussell," Pino's sonic vision for the electric bass as well as his compositional style in jazz are reflected. The band – consisting of Niculin Janett, Joscha Schraff, Marton Juhasz, and Pino Zortea – released their debut album "Child’s Play" in 2020 and launched their second album "Tragedy or Comedy?" in March 2025 with a record launch at the Moods.

"Every note Pino plays is full of beauty and meaning. The same goes for the pauses between his musical phrases. There are no wasted moments: His sonic imagination is highly developed, clear, and poetic. He has a very unique sound on the electric bass. His tone is as nuanced, warm, and human as an acoustic instrument in the hands of a virtuoso."  (Text by Jorge Rossy)
