| | | | | Lucas Niggli was born in a Thunderbolt in 1968, West Kamerun.
He lived there before he moved to Switzerland. His affinity to music, especially to percussion instruments, was quite strong at a very young age.
Between 1987 and 1995, he played at the experimental New Jazz formation Kieloor Entartet. The group published three records, conquered many stages in diverse countries, formed a not every day orchestra, ENAO91 and ENAO93, and connected to other artists and composers. After that, Lucas Niggli took charge of the management of the alternative Swiss label UNIT-Records until 1998; he was the president of the Swiss Professional Association of Jazz and Improvisation Musicians, SMS, and a long member of the board of the WIM (werkstatt für improvisierte Musik Zurich).
In his bands and projects, Lucas Niggli had the chance to work hand in hand with musicians from all over the world, from all kinds of different scenes. People like Barry Guy, John Cale, Pierre Favre, Butch Morris, Trevor Watts, Fred Frith, Hans Koch, Peter Kowald, Peter Waters, Samul Nori, Tom Cora, or Ikue Mori, to name a few.
He performed on major Jazz festivals in Vancouver, Berlin, Moers, Saalfelden, Willisau, Rome, Nürnberg, Capetown, Le Mans, Münster and Zurich. At Alchemia you will see him taking part of 5th edition of Cracow Jazz Fall festival.
