“The jazz saxophonist is currently a hot commodity in Central Europe” writes Austrian Music Export about Saxophone player & composer Yvonne Moriel. She is currently based in Vienna and Zurich, and since about 2019 has been working as a freelance musician in and outside of Austria. In 2022 she founded her solo-project sweetlife where she fuses Jazz with Dub, Hiphop und Electronic. The band immediately managed to catch quite some attention. She is also part of Christian Muthspiel’s chamber-music-meets-avantgardistic-jazz-band Orjazztra and playing with internationally successful bands like Shake Stew or renowned Swiss Jazz Orchestra.

sweetlife quartet
Jazz mixed with Dub-effects and Electronics – that’s the music of saxophonist Yvonne Moriel’s band sweetlife. Her same-titled EP, intended as a project in-between genres, has served as a starting point for the live project which brings together 4 of Austria’s most promising up-and-coming young jazz artists. The music is constantly evolving and enhancing ever since, combining the fascinating colours two brass instruments can create when they venture beyond their traditional melodic role and incorporate electronics and soundscapes into their playing. Free improvisation meets complex rhythmical pattens and hypnotic, hiphop-influenced beats. The project quickly managed to catch international attention: It was presented to an international professional audience at Austrian Music Support’s Kickjazzfestival and shortly after had it’s debut at renowned Jazzfestival Saalfelden. They played concerts in Germany and Italy, Brucknerhaus Linz, Porgy & Bess, Radiokulturhaus Vienna, Club-concerts, the Nestroyhof-Hamakom Theatre – all during their first year after it was founded. Which shows of the versatility and high potential of this still young quartet.
