BAZOOKA
Waywardly swinging interpretations of Angolan popular guitar music from the sixties and seventies. Because of their limited number of gigs, Bazooka has become cult band.

SUN-MI HONG & TRISTAN RENFROW

Two rising stars of the drums will start a conversation on stage. Will there be fierce discussions or intimate embraces? Will they make you laugh or weep?

Sun-Mi Hong, Tristan Renfrow drums

SOON
Duo with roots in Amsterdam and Berlin featuring alternative pop guitarist Liú Mottes and multi-instrumentalist Jochem van Tol, who plays drums and keys, often simultaneously. Their eponymous debut album touches on avant-garde, experimental rock and film music.

RAW FISH

Exciting rebirth of a Danish-Italian duo. Idiosyncratic guitar lines, imposing drumming: sparks fly from left to right and straight through the middle.

Teis Semey guitar, Giovanni Iacovella drums


BENJAMIN HERMAN TRIO & OSCAR JAN HOOGLAND

Dutch jazz icon Benjamin Herman and his trio join forces with pianist Oscar Jan Hoogland. Together they elaborate on the Amsterdams school of jazz improvisation, with Misha Mengelberg as a key figure.

MARTA WARELIS / INGEBRIGT HÅKER FLATEN
Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, the man with the bass, merges his free jazz explorations and experimentation with skillful use of attributes and styles from other idioms, just as the young pianist Marta Warelis does in her playing. They play together as a duo for the first time.
