Since its opening in 1992, jazz club Moods has developed into one of Zurich's largest and most prominent cultural venues. At the same time, it has become one of Europe's prominent jazz clubs which today enjoys a well-deserved worldwide reputation among musicians and critics. The venue books a large variety of genres, ranging from jazz and soul to electronic and international music. Shai Maestro, Ari Bragi Kárason, Rick Rosato and Arthur Hnatek are collectively known as Melismetiq. The quartet's dreamy yet spirited jazz sound is characterized by Karason's gentle trumpet and Maestro's lyrical piano playing, accompanied by Rick Rosato (bass) and Arthur Hnatek (drums).
