About Manon Mullener 5tet

Since its formation in 2023, the Manon Mullener 5tet has established itself as one of the most compelling acts on the young European jazz scene. Led by Swiss pianist Manon Mullener, the group has developed a distinctive musical universe blending modern jazz, Afro-Cuban rhythms and musical storytelling, driven by an infectious energy and a refined sense of interpretation. With their album STORIES, recorded in New York, the quintet brings to life human stories gathered from around the world: Zoila, a Havana grandmother recalling her 1950s perfume shop, Noh, a Mexican taxi driver imbued with Mayan wisdom, or Willard, an opera enthusiast roaming the hushed streets of Manhattan. Each composition becomes a living scene, an emotional snapshot and a bridge between cultures. Since the album’s release, the band has performed more than one hundred concerts across Europe, reaching growing audiences and increasing recognition, while also being selected for an official showcase at Jazzahead! in Bremen and praised by leading media such as France Musique, TSF Jazz, NDR, Le Temps and L’Illustré, who have hailed Manon Mullener as a rising star of European jazz.
