Info zu Nu Bottega

Der 1964 geborene Saxophonist und Komponist Pekka Pylkkänen gilt als einer der starken Jazzkünstler und Saxophonisten Europas. Er ist auf der ganzen Welt aufgetreten und nicht nur in Europa, sondern beispielsweise auch in Asien und Südamerika erfolgreich. Er hat in vielen Ländern mit zahlreichen renommierten Künstlern zusammengearbeitet und wirkt global als Solist, Leader, Aufnahmemusiker und Pädagoge.

"Es geht im Allgemeinen um die italienische Lebensweise und die Schönheit, die man in diesem Land finden kann - man kann das nicht so leicht in wenigen Worten beschreiben, es ist, als ob man die schönsten Dinge hinter etwas heruntergekommenen Gegenden, Orten oder Details findet.

"Nu Bottega' bedeutet einfach ‚Neues Restaurant', doch mit dem Vibe einer Gemeinschaftsküche, dem Kochen mit Freunden, dem Teilen von Brot und so weiter. Das Kochen (nun überwiegend italienisch) ist meine Leidenschaft, und das mit Freunden zu teilen macht mir die grösste Freude." (Nu Bottega)
