Pascal Schumacher has been described as a “Goldsmith” in his art, a boundary-pushing musician, a resourceful improviser and an imaginative composer. Keen to explore the links that exist between many musical genres, it is difficult to pigeonhole his talent, his taste or his musical influences. One thing is certain: he is a vibraphone player with a unique aptitude and sensitivity who manages to inject panache and flamboyance into every performance. His flair for improvisation is married to a lucid inventiveness which together create an original sound as visionary as it is melodic. He is skilful, far-reaching and theatrical without being pretentious. Since he gave birth to his first serious musical project in 1995, his musical partnerships and projects resemble his eclectic nature. His duo with Jef Neve produces a hybrid that has been described as somewhere between pop-infused contemporary music and classic-infused jazz.

The Pascal Schumacher Quartet has a potent hook-laden feel that produces a contemporary sound that is beautiful, melodic and effortlessly articulated.

As a composer he writes not only for the quartet and chamber music ensembles, but has also been involved in film, theatre and dance projects. He is currently writing a soundtrack for a silent movie starring Marlene Dietrich. Pascal Schumacher has released “Bang My Can”, his fifth album for PSQ and his third project for Enja Records since signing with them in 2008.

The Pascal Schumacher Quartet was formed in 2002 at the legendary Sounds Jazz Club in Brussels. In addition to Schumacher on vibraphone, the group includes the strongly talented German piano player Franz von Chossy (living and working in Amsterdam), the Belgian double bass player Christophe Devisscher and the German drummer Jens Düppe.
