Soul Searching
Soul Searching is a jazz project led by guitarist and composer Samuel Gracida, developed originally in connection with a university recital exploring the relationship between jazz and spirituality. The ensemble performs original compositions that reflect themes of identity, reflection, and presence.
The current lineup includes:
- Samuel Gracida – guitar and composition
- Tilman Rivinius – piano
- Christian Monninger – drums
- Pierre Thome – bass
- Maša Banićević – vocals
The music combines composed structure with improvisation, with space for dialogue between voice and instruments. Earlier versions of the project included spoken word and works by artists such as Mary Lou Williams and John Coltrane, whose influence remains present in the project’s ongoing development.
Soul Searching is currently active as a performing group, with a repertoire focused on original material and an interest in the expressive possibilities of jazz in contemporary settings.
