„Songstress Niki Vörös is not one of the many young singers who, having finished at the jazz faculty, sell out immediately for understandable financial reasons. She is a true jazz singer, the real thing, who is capable of turning almost any material into high quality jazz.
 
Her slightly smoky voice fits the tradition, she improvises with startling originality but with due restraint. Her debut album is a knock-out.
Since then she’s had the audience spellbound with local backing at London’s legendary 606 Club. Niki sings from the heart and is on the same wavelength with her musicians who are László Vörös on piano, Tibor Csuhaj-Barna on double bass and György Jeszenszky on drums.”(Péter Pallai )
 
Niki graduated from the Jazz Department of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in 2010. She founded her band with her brother Laszlo in 2005, which has been performing regularly at Hungarian jazz clubs and festivals ever since. The band's sound is determined by Niki’s characteristic, individual voice and is perfectly complemented by Laszlo’s innovative and expressive piano playing. The performance is accompanied perfectly by the rhythm section consisting of Csuhaj-Barna Tibor on double bass and the versatile, Hungary’s most popular jazz drummer Jeszenszky György.
 
Niki’s debut album „Ask Yourself Why” appeared in the summer of 2012, does a Jazzy take on French composer Michel Legrand’s songs.

They play original compositions and take inspiration from everything from contemporary jazz to contemporary classical music. Based in the south of Sweden the trio constantly strive to expand their expression palette with inspiration from life in the big small town of Malmö. Grief, happiness, confusion, will and longing are words that can describe the music that the trio perform in their fearless way. The three members first met at Malmö academy of music where they all studied jazz and improvisation.

2 gegen 3“is the German description for „2 versus 3“ 2 plus 3 equals five. That’s how we’ve learned it. And somehow it is true. At least it really concerns a quintet, so five young musicians. They found each other on the search for an own musical language. But 2 versus 3 implies a lot more: there are 3 parts of own compositions and 2 parts of musical inspiration from all over the world. 3 parts of settled arrangements and 2 parts of free playing. It implies 2 multiplied by 3 times of fun and enthusiasm. It implicates together, on top or against each other, ordered and disordered. 3 parts of jazz, 2 parts of influences from all over the world. And the obvious thing: 3 brown- and 2 blond-haired members. „2gegen3“simply consists of five willful musicians, each one with their personal idea of sound, coming from their soul – which must be brought out! Jule Roßberg – voc Sonja Beeh – tb Lennart Jahn – pn Fabian Misch – db Leon Saleh – dr By the way: it is absolutely random that the band consists of 2 women and 3 men! Anything else would be an offense against emancipation – wouldn’t it? Homepage can be reached via: https://www.facebook.com/2ggn3 www.2gegen3.de

Niogi is a contemporary jazz trio who performs original pieces using a combination of acoustic instruments and synthesizers. Soulful, beautiful, and passionate is how the music of Niogi is described.
 
The music that Niogi produces features a perfect balance of acoustic and electronic jazz. Guy Shkolnik, and Omri Abramov, Niogi have been both composing music together since 2012. Both create pieces that are unique, and they always bring the right kind of energy to every stage they set foot in.
 
"I saw Niogi at the Ingolstadt Jazz Festival and loved their sound, compositions and overall performance. The audience asked for more and more. Highly recommended.” said Catherine Mayer of Just jazz International.
 
Niogi has played at Ingolstädter Jazztage in 2013, 2015 and 2016 making them the only Israeli band to participate in the festival twice.
 
"Niogi is definitely contemporary jazz, where acoustic and electronic instruments are combined in an interesting fusion of styles, from classical to jazz to world music. Very impressive use of synth programming and controllers." according to the review in GuitarList.
 
In February 2015 Niogi recorded its debut album at Rainbow Studios, Oslo, with legendary sound engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug and Norwegian bassist Per Mathisen. The album was released October 15, 2015 under Alessa Records.

Niogi don't just perform soulful music for the people, they celebrate music with you.

The Marie Kruttli Trio inspires, vivid, fesh, briliant and audacious. Jazz needs trios like this says a Jazz critic about their debut album in 2014. The young pianist creates with a sophisticated and personal language. a deep rhythmical and harmonical research. Thanks to the interpretation of the trio, ful of lightness and groove, this music speaks to the body and the heart. With a mature sound, a special esthetic and a bewitching virtuosity, the three musicians deliver a highly pertinent music. No hipster minimalism, no irony but clear and powerful ideas. Kruttli’s playing impresses at every level, delivering with defined ease, complex rhythms, colorful harmonics and overlapping tones. She navigates her band through a mysterious, soulful musical landscape. What distingues the young pianist fom her peers is her confident and straightforward delivery of a vast array of original musical . Deeply indebted to composers such as Stravinski, Debussy and Ravel (both her parents are classical musicians), she is at home in a wide range of dazzling melodic patterns, effortlessly mastering the most sophisticated chord changes. The Marie Kruttli trio emerges at an exciting time in Jazz history, when boundaries are being pushed, revised and pushed again. Their organic style is both, exciting and innovative.

The quartet “Purple is the Color” was founded around the pianist and composer

Simon Raab in the Fall 2015 along with the saxophonist Štěpán Flagar, bass

player Martin Kocián and drummer Michał Wierzgoń. This four - member

collective fluctuates within traditional approach of the jazz quartet with a modern

touch through the embossed characteristics of the pop music. Nevertheless with

strong idea of improvisation in mind, Purple is the Color is developing to its

individual sound quality.

Alex Maksymiw is a guitarist/composer living in Berlin. He has released 2 albums as a leader and is active in many bands in Berlin and Europe. This quartet features some of the best musicians in the world including Peter Schlamb (USA) - Vibraphone, Phil Donkin (UK)-Bass, and Bodek Janke (PL/DE)-Drums. "
…A superb technician with vision and offers us modern jazz advocates a very timely breath of fresh air." – All about jazz

The Trondheim-based Quartet ‘Line Up’ plays the music of Lennie Tristano, Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh.

Based on chord-progressions of standards, Line Up plays so-called “lines” that Tristano, Konitz and Marsh composed. Combined with interactive improvisations around those melodies and spontaneity in their playing.

Line Up are four young musicians who are based in Trondheim, Norway and have played in this formation since 2016.

The musical genre which was invented by DRUCKMITTEL, under the command of

the drummer and composer Florian Hoesl in 2012, is best described as »halfaggressive

hyperventilation jazz, that would still make you sleep quite well

afterwards«.

DRUCKMITTEL is most likely the first band to combine different styles of music.

Jazz, Rock, Classical... Believe it or not, it's all in there.

Also DRUCK-MITTEL(pressure-device) are very close to claiming the throne of the

second or third fattest sounding jazz combo currently existing on planet earth.

These dudes sound huge, just like the mountains that surround the place where the

group met: Lucerne, Switzerland.

The musicians hate playing music. They don't play to express the innermost, they

don't play to come to terms with their past and they absolutely do not play for fun.

»WE ARE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY!« (Frank Zappa) Isn't that what jazz music is

all about?
