This is the third album by the OKWOK trio, which is the result of a blend of influences ranging from modern and traditional jazz to impressionist music and the pulsating rhythms of hip-hop culture. OKWOK draws heavy inspiration from the concept of a volcano and its eruptive phases, a theme that is reflected in both their music and their story.
The trio erupted in September 2022 with its very first release, "Our Ten Inner Shadows". After the Swiss Diagonale Jazz tour and a second project called "The Valley Session" in 2025, they finally reunited to record their latest album, which was released in late March 2026 and played for the first time at the Viel Jazz Festival in Zug (Switzerland).
Composers : Xavier Kaeser (dr), Daniel Hernandez (p) and Loïc Baillod (b)
