Her work challenges the conventions of song structure and performance, positioning her as a pivotal figure in the conversation about what jazz can express and how it interacts with other musical forms.
Aebi's approach is marked by her willingness to embrace spontaneity and experimentation, often blurring the lines between composition and improvisation. This fluidity allows her performances to feel like conversations, where each note and phrase builds upon the last, creating a rich tapestry of auditory experience that evolves in real-time.
