Jean-Jacques Pedretti

Jean-Jacques Pedretti is a Swiss trombonist and improviser represented in Creative Sources' catalogue of contemporary and experimental music. His practice explores the acoustic possibilities of the trombone, including sustained tones, glissandi, breath and unconventional articulations.

Working in collaborative settings, he treats the brass instrument as an independent contributor to the development of musical form. His recordings belong to an international tradition of improvisation in which players respond to one another through texture, rhythm and dynamics. The label documents his contribution, while further reliable details of his other ensembles and professional background remain limited.
