Concert, music

The core line-up of Amsterdam-based Spinifex is a sextet. The band is named after a resilient Australian species of grass, and may at first sound like a blend of free jazz, punk rock and other typically Western contemporary music.

Emmeluth’s Amoeba is about curiosity, playfulness and joy. It’s about creating a space where coming together and sharing a moment is central.

The five musicians who make up the quintet are perhaps most united by their sensitivity towards quality. Having explored the myriad shades of jazz and classical music, the need to develop their own language and their own sound becomes the most important common aim in this formation.

Mindaugas Stumbras is a Lithuanian guitarist and composer based in Vilnius, Lithuania. His music is very dynamic, colourful and versatile. Beautiful and picturesque compositions are influenced by the broad European jazz scene, American jazz tradition, Lithuanian folk music and Scandinavian improvisational music scene.

Saxophonist-composer Kristóf Bacsó occasionally extends his musical horizon with guest musicians, as was the case when he recorded an album with bassist Lionel Loueke (Pannon Blue), creating a kind of fusion of Hungarian-focused contemporary jazz and West African-influenced improvisational music, and then, with his own band, Kristóf Bacsó Triad, he recorded another album together with guest bassist Daniele Camarda (Imaginary Faces).

From dreamer to magician: Wolfgang Haffner, “best” (Die Welt), “coolest” (ARD ttt), even “most important drummer of his generation” (SZ), is going on tour with his Wolfgang Haffner Trio, following the success of his “Dream Band” and his “Magic Band”. The accompanying album is entitled “Life Rhythm”, which was released in fall 2024.
