The swiss jazz quartet Michael Jaeger KEROUAC presents its new album titled "Dance Around In Your Bones". It's released be the label Intakt Records in 2013. Zurich tenor saxophonist Michael Jaeger's working band, which has become an established name in Switzerland and its neighbouring countries since 2006, is metonymic with markedly creative and progressive European jazz music, with „the sound of surprise" (Die Weltwoche, Peter Rüedi). The KEROUAC band members are Vincent Membrez (p), Luca Sisera (b), Norbert Pfammatter (dr) and Michael Jaeger (ts, cl, comp) -- a spectacular cast of distinct and well-known exponents of the current Swiss jazz landscape
«KEROUACs music is the sound of coalescence and closer to something unique than a lot of other music out there. »
Nic Jones, Allaboutjazz, New York, Juli 2010
«This is uncompromising and exciting music, simultaneously experimental and classical. Jaeger's artistic power is enough to inspire any enthusiast searching for new approaches in modern jazz. »
Lasse Haugen, Jazznytt, Norway 2010
«What could be sensed was a group language of remarkable consistency, mainly based on a notion of collectivity, accentuating the "we" instead of the "I". [...] The riveting aspect about Jaeger's ensemble is that a great deal of structure conscience can be discovered behind a seemingly free musical development. »
Tages Anzeiger, Christoph Merki, about the Unerhoert! Festival concert in November 2007
