Modus Quartet
Modus was founded in 2007 by the Israeli percussionist Omri Hason.
In various line-ups, the band has played countless concerts in Japan,
Israel and Europe.
In the latest edition of Modus, the great singer and vocal artist Bruno
Amstad joins the band. He enriches the Band's sound with his rock, jazz
and soul inspired vocals and complements it with ethnic sounds of
various cultures.
New York jazz harpist Park Stickney is a master at combining jazz and
harp. Together with double bassist Lorenz Beyeler and percussionist Omri
Hason, they form the rhythmic and harmonic foundation of the quartet.
The musical vocabulary of Modus knows no stylistic boundaries and is
shaped by the cultural backgrounds of the band members. The conscious
approach to tradition, the exploration of improvisation and the openness
to new musical forms flow into the music and make every concert a
unique experience.

Das Modus Quartet spielt einen frischen «Oriental Jazz», wie man ihn leider nur selten hört.
JAZZ'N'MORE
Treibende orientalische Rhythmen und eine hohe technische Spieldynamik, Virtuosität, Homogenität zeichnen das Modus Quartet aus. Eine CD, die von der Melancholie bis zur Freude das ganze Gefühls-Spektrum ausstrahlt.
