A lemur with a life belt, a mock political campaign poster and a picture of the band dressed as pastry chefs? Cast your eye over some of Vein’s album covers and you might think this Swiss trio were playing it for laughs. However, don’t be fooled - their music is no joke.

Formed in 2006 by twin brothers Michael Arbenz (piano) and Florian Arbenz (drums), together with bassist Thomas Lahns, Vein have released no less than 11 critically acclaimed albums, including collaborations with American saxmeisters David Leibmann and Greg Osby.

Almost 10 years after their formation and after playing several hundred concerts on four continents (in over 30 countries), with their latest CD, The Chamber Music Effect, Vein interweave the language of jazz and classical music.
