airing. The main emphasis still lies with Folk/Songwriter productions by international artists; but equally with Jazz, where, apart from former Dollar Brand saxophonist Joe Malinga, exclusively Swiss combos ‐ most of them hosting international guests ‐ can be booked. Brambus actively promotes the exciting milieu of young, contemporary Swiss Jazz. Although they are still relatively unknown, internationally, these young bands are at the cutting edge; dynamic, virtuosic and creative. In the summer of 2009 the 250th Brambus production was released ‐ for the first time a double CD (priced as a single) ‐ and, also for the first time, featuring the spoken word, in German; a translation of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield, in sound and speech.
