SILVAN ZINGG

“Swiss Boogie Woogie Ambassador to the World,” Silvan Zingg returns to JazzAscona

It is with great pleasure that Silvan Zingg will be back at JazzAscona. Silvan has performed in Ascona many times since the second half of the 1990s. He started improvising on his mother’s piano as a child, at the age of 18 he performed at the “Masters of Boogie Woogie Night” in Charleston, South Carolina. Today he is one of the most famous Boogie Woogie pianists in Europe. In his more than 30-year musical career, he has had the pleasure of performing in more than 40 countries in Europe, South, North and Central America, Asia and Africa. His repertoire ranges from Boogie Woogie to Blues, from classic Jazz to Swing. “Silvan sounds like he’s from St. Louis – he could be my blues brother!” – Rock ‘n’ Roll legend Chuck Berry said of him after a joint concert. Silvan Zingg also had the honor of sharing the stage with B.B. King at Stravinski Hall at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2011.

At JAzzAscona 2025 we will experience him both as a solo artist (26.6. – 5.7.2025) and as a trio (30.6. – 01.7.2025), accompanied by Nuno Alexandre on double bass and Valerio Felice on drums.
