BADENHORST/CELANO/BAGGIANI
A trio that may recall the legendary Der Rote Bereich for its instrumentation and its relation to composed/improvised musical constructions, but with a completely different sound and imaginary.

As an offshoot of the C.B.G, (Celano/Baggiani Group, a very active formation that has recently celebrated its 10th anniversary), Celano/Badenhorst/Baggiani is opening different musical spaces for these strong personalities, taking the unconventional instrumentation as a starting point and exploring the horizons of postmodern creative music.

Joachim Badenhorst – tenor sax, clarinet and bass clarinet | Guillermo Celano – guitar | Marcos Baggiani drums.

The group’s first album ,Lili & Marleen’, came out on Clean Feed, in July 2018. This tour will celebrate this fact.

TOMCHESS/ESAT EKINCIOGLU
In 2017, Bass player Esat Ekincioğlu met oud player Tomchess in New York. The project is currently over for the Zomerjazzfietstour Groningen, and it’d be a shame not to have them over to Amsterdam for a set.

The combination of double bass and oud, adds a middle eastern flavour to their storylike improvisations. Tomchess and Esat Ekincioğlu spontaneously create a common musical language that alter perceptions and encourage us to imagine different alternatives in music and life.

Tomchess – oud | Esat Ekincioğlu – double bass

DJ
After the concerts, DJ De Platenbakker will bring his ghettoblaster to play cassettes from Morocco, Lebanon, Albania, Mali, and Turkey.
