$[SKRONK']: J\u00dc \/\/ Cease Fire! ft George Cremaschi$

Cease Fire! ft George Cremaschi
Cease Fire used to be Mofaya! (and !Mof!Aya! with Luke Stewart) but has changed its name until an ACTUAL cease fire takes place in Palestine. Of course, we demand an end to the brutal genocide and occupation that has been ongoing for much of the last century. Cease Fire is an adventurous, high-energy improvisational jazz project built around the dynamic collaboration between American saxophonist John Dikeman and Serbian drummer Aleksandar Škorić. The duo draws on the raw spirit of free jazz and combines it with intense emotional and spontaneous interplay, often invoking elements from African-American free jazz traditions and European free improvisation. This concert will present them in trio with the idionsyncratic and explosive bassist and electronic musician George Cremaschi. Georde is an American-born bassist, composer, and sound artist based in Prague who specializes in experimental music, free improvisation, and electroacoustic composition. He is a prominent figure in the international avant-garde scene as the founder of the Prague Improvisation Orchestra and a faculty member at FAMU, where he teaches film sound.

JÜ
Jü, formed in 2012, has become, by now, one of the most exciting avant jazz acts on the Hungarian music scene.
With each successive release, the world of the Budapest-based trio band seems to become exponentially larger and encompass an ever-expanding range of vibrant and startling influences.
More than anything, their music reflects a core drive to explore traditions and ideas from far-flung corners of the world, returning with a vital and pulse-quickening sound accented by countless
disparate influences yet singularly possessing its own boldly uncategorizable voice.
By pushing their instruments to new limits, the members push their entranced audiences from the constantly flowing present into the future. The band opens minds with their clean, open approach and spirited improvisation, always pushing each other and the limits of the composition, but never allowing the structure to fall apart.
Blending elements of world music, experimental jazz and rock, a vast variety of progressive and traditional musics, bleeding-edge electronica and ancient folk, it is an exhilarating sum even more
profound and pulse-quickening than its already brilliant parts.
Ernő Hock – bass
Ádám Mészáros – guitar
