Founded in Leipzig in 2014, the Eva Klesse Quartet showed a remarkable variety of styles and strong creative will from the start. Just 6 months after the musicians Evgeny Ring (sax) Philip Frischkorn (p), Robert Lucacio (b) and Eva Klesse (dr) got together, the debut album "Xenon" was released, whose essential characteristics were and are: Atmospheric original compositions instead of covers, a feeling for exciting melodies, joy in improvisation as well as nuanced, purely acoustic arrangements. 2015 the band was awarded the Jazz ECHO as best newcomer of the year for this, in October 2016 the highly acclaimed album "Obenland" was released, the presentation of which we are looking forward to with great pleasure! 21.30PM
Roman Babik's URBAN WEDDING BAND
.NRoman Babik's URBAN WEDDING BAND unites with Roman Babik (p), Dimitrij Markitantov (reeds), Bodek Janke (dr, perc., tabla) and Martin Gjakonovski (b) not only excellent musicians, but also their musical history between East and West. Precise modern jazz, folkloresque melancholy and pulsating beats as common denominators let jazz and proverbial passion of the Balkans merge without seeming contrived. While the combination of Western harmonies and constructs counterpointed with the natural flow of Balkan music is not new musical territory, the blend fits so well that Babik's complexly earnest compositions don't get in the way of the dance craze either!
