Peter Somuah<\/strong> trumpet \u00b7 Anton De Bruin<\/strong> keyboards \u00b7 Marijn van der Ven<\/strong> bass \u00b7 Jens Meijer<\/strong> drums<\/p>\n

In 2022, Peter Somuah<\/strong> won the prestigious Edison Jazz Award<\/strong> with his debut album, Outer Space<\/em>. With his memorable ACT debut, Letter to the Universe<\/em> (2023), Somuah<\/strong> presented an ambitious biographical mosaic\u2014a cosmopolitan fusion of his many influences\u2014which led the respected German newspaper S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung<\/em> to note that the album \u201cgave proof of the complexity of jazz as a world language.\u201d<\/p>\n

With his follow-up album, Highlife<\/em> (November 2024), Peter Somuah<\/strong> has returned to his roots and to his first musical love. He has been playing highlife<\/em>, the iconic music of his homeland\u2014widely rumored to be added to UNESCO\u2019s Intangible Cultural Heritage register in 2025\u2014since childhood. \u201cHighlife has fundamentally influenced the way I play the trumpet, the way I listen to music, and the way I compose<\/em>\u201d says Somuah<\/strong>. This influence is also reflected in his distinctive trumpet sound: sometimes radiant, sometimes nuanced and brittle, inspired by the recordings he heard as a young man by highlife icons such as E.T. Mensah<\/strong> and The Ramblers<\/strong>. He now sees himself as a bridge between two clearly related worlds: with one foot in modern jazz and the other in a traditional highlife bar.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"peter-somuah-group","image":{"url":"https:\/\/jamboreejazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Destacada-Jamboree-59.jpg","id":126623,"extension":"jpg","width":2000,"height":1500,"filesize":432172,"sizes":{"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":576,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":50975,"url":"https:\/\/jamboreejazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Destacada-Jamboree-59-768x576.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1152,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":219265,"url":"https:\/\/jamboreejazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Destacada-Jamboree-59-1536x1152.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2026-06-27
