Dan and the Dynamite
Formed in 2023, this Swiss nu-jazz band creates music that is both explosive and therapeutic. Long-time collaborators, the two composers at the heart of the project – Jérôme Spichiger (bass) and Yaniv Benhamou (tenor saxophone) – have crafted a striking sonic identity, marked by hypnotic saxophone, atmospheric Fender Rhodes, and syncopated drums. The result is captivating, organic music that combines pop’s melodic sensitivity with the improvisational spirit of jazz.
