About the project​​

​

The Marion Wolf Quartet is a band from Austria dedicated to blending contemporary jazz aesthetics with poetic dialect lyrics in the Carinthian vernacular. The finely crafted lyrics by the bandleader integrate in a surprisingly natural way into the ensemble’s open, improvisational soundscape.

​

Another central artistic focus of the quartet is to establish the violin as an independent, improvising solo-instrument.

​

At the heart of the band is composer, vocalist, and violinist Marion Wolf, whose voice and violin are in constant, unfiltered dialogue with her ensemble. Striking a balance between a clear artistic signature and expressive sonic energy, the music creates a language that feels both intimate and unpretentious – personal, hip, and refreshingly unconcerned with convention.
