Featuring: Ratko Zjaca - guitar Nick McGuire - double bass Joze Zadravec - drums

The band represents a unique musical direction, radically different from the world of traditional mainstream jazz. Their musical palette embraces a wider spectrum, fusing elements of jazz, rock, indie and electronic music. Niki as a songwriter uses the band to realise her own musical vision encompassing personal experiences, emotions and deeper contents.

“This is our musical offering for a utopian, inclusive society, using a new, free, imaginary language unlimited by origin or cultural boundaries: Anthem for No Man’s Land. Our album title is inspired by our efforts to make art that can see beyond territorial thinking, beyond borders and beyond egoism.

“Would it be possible to speak of a new all-star trio of Austrian jazz? The maturity and compactness of the compositions that are celebrated with such relish by Haezz convey the image of seasoned, veteran musicians, devoid of any demonstrative attitude and who know what they are doing.

Springing off a sound reminiscent of acoustic piano trios of the 50s and 60s, Oùat explores the memory and perspectives of hand crafted, collective, music making. Jazz in its most open operative meaning, in which improvisation is a real necessity, stimulates the trio to confront and investigate our times of sounds and movements.

Caminos is the new project of guitarist Juan Gómez ‘Chicuelo’. It comprises tangos, alegrías, bulerías and granaínas, and with an unusual lineup, it opens new sound pathways in flamenco.
