about

"The Chilean exceptional drummer Pablo Saez knows how to always find the right groove for each piece, reacting playfully to the fiery solos."
WAZ 2023
---
"The band around Sáez presents a successful amalgamation of different influences, with Afro-American roots and folkloric approaches intertwined with contemporary jazz influenced by the fusion of the seventies and traditional bop. Consequently, this exciting music presented live, exudes a bit more freshness and spontaneity. This is also expressed through sometimes exuberant energy, while also leading to many calm passages and lyrical elements that one can enjoy in many ways." Musik an sich 2023

Progressive jazz from Chile!
This is what you can expect on the recording of the drummer and composer Pablo Sáez (also electronics) from Santiago de Chile and his five-piece formation SURENSEMBLE. All songs were recorded live on an October day in 2018 in the “Loft” in Cologne. An exciting and progressive jazz with indigenous Latin influences, in which mysterious vocals in Spanish are sometimes interspersed. Rating: exceptional!" Reiner Guérich – In Music 2023
---
“Inmanencia” is live and contemplative jazz at its best. Sultry, vibrant, full of jokes and alway on the edge, but concisely executed. Pablo Sáez is an excellent rhythm provider, who knows how to caress and attack energetically, where the guitar, bass and piano can shine. Holistically balanced in its sound, strong in every way.” Musikreviews.de, 2023
---
“Although as an artist he is acutely aware of the vast and complex history of music, Pablo Sáez is never one to get all nostalgic. His sights are set firmly on the future, and that’s where his music is born: astonishing, mysterious compositions that take the listener on a unique and unexpected journey. This is an album not only for listeners looking to discover truly original pieces, but also for anyone seeking great, independent music. We’re excited about this one!” Jazz-Fun, 2022

"Pablo Sáez is a drummer and composer who has lived in Cologne since 2008, a city where he went to study and then embark on one of the most important stages of his musical career. He fronts a contemporary jazz quintet called Surensemble, which comprises musicians from different countries and celebrates the fusion of several musical worlds: his own Latin American roots and a number of modern influences, “from the twelve-tone technique, to musique concrète, and noise” says Sáez." El Mercurio, 2022
---
"He has managed, however, to remain grounded in the present, both rhetorically and musically"
La Panera, 2022
---
"He is currently editing his third álbum as a solo artist, “Inmanencia”: a live recording of sessions from the Loft-Cologne studio made in October 2018, mixed by Christian Heck and mastered by Tigran Hamasyan drummer, Nate Wood." Mirada Musical, 2022

"The songs on this record are part of a series of compositions that I didn’t want to just leave in the pages of our songbook. My bandmates, João, André, Alvaro, Pablo and I have been playing together for years in different groups, working on the development of what we call "South American Jazz". It’s an extremely underground trend in Europe at the moment, but more musicians are appearing each year.

The experimental process of this particular production involved many different types of (formal) musical notation. A lot of them aren't exactly related to North American Jazz, but instead to baroque and contemporary classical music. The blending of these different notation styles opens up an entirely new perspective that an experienced musician can deconstruct in many different ways. A single piece, for example, can blend Arnold Schönberg with John Cage, while another can bring together Agustin Barrios and Steve Reich. In this rereading of notes that exist only in the fleeting moments when they are played, fantastic things can happen. The unique phrasing of each musician is what makes such moments unreproducible.

The fact that we have matured, musically speaking, in Germany has undoubtedly influenced the way we make music, but it doesn’t mean that we want to make European music. Our search for new improvisational structures is thanks to the way the contemporary Jazz movement has, in 2017, taken on very diverse and extreme new directions. Latin American music is not exempt from this cultural shift. Indeed, it continues to mutate and morph into new figures and styles that we have attempted to capture on this record. " Pablo
