Samuel Blaser is one of the most prolific voices in jazz, with 34 recordings as a leader or co-leader since 2008.

With his latest, deeply personal album Rosina, named after his grandmother, he draws on Italian folk melodies and reconnects profoundly with his family roots in Emilia-Romagna.

Within his quartet, Blaser is surrounded by pianist Russ Lossing, drummer Billy Mintz, and double bassist Masa Kamaguchi—longtime companions who create the vast open spaces, spirited exchanges, and sudden lyrical intimacy that characterize Samuel Blaser's work.
