KNOBIL

À propos

Double bassist, singer and composer KNOBIL (Louise Knobil) invites you to dive into her world, where jazz, punk, glitter and French chanson merge with sparkling, daring energy. Inspired by iconic figures such as Esperanza Spalding, Charles Mingus and Boris Vian, this rising star of Swiss jazz transforms her diary into a unique musical adventure. Polyamory, chronic insomnia and pesto recipes come together in compositions that are both personal and universal. She plays her song in solo, duo, mainly trio and sometimes in sextet.
