With her voice, Yumi Ito creates worlds beyond boundaries. The Swiss singer with Polish-Japanese roots is considered one of the most important representatives of vocal improvisation and moves with ease between different genres and the roles of singer, pianist and composer. A veritable ocean of art-pop, jazz and neo-classical. On the strength of countless concerts and tours, the musician expresses herself like a Zen master: clear, thoughtful and with an extraordinarily powerful energy. SWR2 Jazz named her one of the vocal discoveries of 2020, and Jazz Thing and Bandcamp selected her album Stardust Crystals as one of the best releases of 2020. Ysla is her new album. She performs as a trio with Spanish ‘drum poet’ Iago Fernández and Israeli bassist Nadav Erlich.
