Kaja Draklser Octet – Gledalec
Clean Feed Records
Kaja Draksler releases her third album as a leader on Clean Feed this Friday with Gledalec. This is the debut recording for her Octet who will also be playing a number of festivals this season including Artacts in St Johann in Tirol, Taktlos in Zurich and Cerkno Jazz in Cerkno. Check the calendar for all dates.
…It’s no wonder that a pianist with such a large sonic vision of her own instrument has an orchestral way of imagining sound and sonic associations, with her dedications to both the solo and the large ensemble formats complementing each other.

Believe it or not, Available Jelly is turning 40 this year! Hard to imagine this ensemble has been going so long, and sounds as fresh and inspired as ever. Originally a part of the Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe, a group of musicians, dancers and clowns, they first came to Europe to perform in the “Festival of Fools” in the 70s. Many of the musicians stayed on, including Michael Moore, Michael Vatcher and Gregg Moore. Gregg returned to the USA some time ago but we’re happy to say he will rejoin the band for this tour of the Netherlands.…
The Boy Edgar Prize award night at the Bimhuis was a beautiful evening honouring one of the greatest bassists in improvised music, Wilbert de Joode. It also featured some exceptional performances by a who’s who of musicians from all over the world.

2: WdJ + Marta Warelis, Onno Govaert, Tobias Delius
The “MORE”: for each concert there will be one or two of these fantastic musicians joining the Core.…
