Theo Altmann - trumpet, electronics
Mads Riis - electric guitar
Mads and Theo met during their studies at the Jazz Institute Berlin and discovered a shared interest in lyrical improvisation.
Influenced by musicians such as Jakob Bro, Bill Frisell and Arve Henriksen, as well as Björk, Radiohead and Puce Mary, they quickly found a common ground, which is in search of something new without becoming arbitrary.
A visual influence was present from the very beginning, whether it was through inspiration from films or the realization of audiovisual projects. The resulting music could be described as cinematic without reproducing the kitsch and pathetics of conventional film music.
The project is very process-oriented, which is why the two are becoming more and more unified through regular rehearsals and playing.

FUTUR II
Neil McCracken - Piano (SCT)
Liam Elion - Bass (IL)
Finn Seemann - Drums (DE)
FUTUR II is the project of three young international jazz musicians from Scotland, Israel and Germany who first met while studying together at the renowned Jazz Institute in Berlin.
The music reflects their respective musical and cultural backgrounds.
They play original compositions in which we also draw on contemporary and classical approaches to re-imagine well-known jazz standards in our own way, sometimes abstract, energetic, free and always embodying the jazz tradition.
Influences include Thelonious Monk, Brad Mehldau, Lage Lund, Will Vinson, John Taylor and Aaron Parks.

JOHANN GREVE QUARTETT
Bruno Bode - Sax,
Lajos Meinberg - Piano,
Leo Gerstner - Drums,
Johann Greve - Bass/comp
Johann Greve is a young double bassist and composer from Lower Saxony. Since moving to Berlin in 2019, he has worked as a sideman on a wide variety of projects and established himself in the young Berlin jazz scene.
His Quartet was founded in early 2023, though all members worked together before in different settings. The band recorded their debut album in March, which was produced by Michael Attias and is expected to be released at the end of the year.
""…It's always about energy, the interplay of gravity and centrifugal forces, which find a genuine unity with an incredible pull through an undefined mystery. It's not about stringing together virtuoso solo performances, but rather all participants push the expressive limits without getting in each other's way, and Greve himself forms the backbone of the whole with his powerful bass…""
- Wolf Kampmann, Jazz Thing (translated from German).

Lucía Boffo & Teresa Luna
Vocals: Lucia, Teresa
Percussion: Leo Gerstner
Lucía Boffo and Teresa Luna are two Argentine singer-songwriters who met in Berlin.
Both were students at the Jazz Institute of Berlin, where they quickly forged an artistic connection. This friendship led them to form a duo that combines their original compositions with folk works.
With their voices and the accompaniment of one or two guitars, Lucía and Teresa create an intimate and evocative sound, performing their music with great emotionality and depth, resonating with the richness of their cultural roots and the innovation of contemporary jazz.

Prism Eye
Felix Ziebarth - trumpet/efx
Paul Feise - saxophone
Jasche Briand Søndergaard - guitar Chris Seargent - bass
Henry Hahnfeldt - drums
The PRISM EYE consists of five young musicians from the Berlin jazz scene and plays their own compositions, which can mainly be settled in modern jazz, whereby elements from pop, electro and rock cannot be ignored. The personal stories and backgrounds of the band members merge into a unique sound. PRISM EYE wants to reach its listeners and not frighten them away with too abstract melodies, whereby the improvisations don't do without virtuosity, of course!
Thrilling grooves, distorted trumpet sound and the interaction of the quintet take the listener on a journey through space and time and reach new states of consciousness with the audience.
""I could compare my music to white light, in which all colors are contained. Only a prism can separate these colors and make them visible, this prism could be the mind of the listener.” — Arvo Pärt
""We're all broken, that's how light comes in."" — Ernest Hemingway"
