TKTrio
In 2005, three friends meet at a jazz workshop in Poland and later found their first jazz band together in Berlin. The tktrio, which at that time still mainly consisted of teenage students, played concerts in Berlin jazz clubs and concert halls in its founding year. However, the paths quickly get lost. Their studies and other circumstances bring the young band apart at an early age. But what remains is the memory of a common sound, of the youthful dynamics and harmony that united the musicians at that time.
10 years and 1,000 lucky coincidences later all band members finally land in Northern Germany. And so since 2017 the tktrio has been drawing on the energy of the Berlin era to create a new sound – virtuoso piano trio music, always with a focus on the melodic overall impression, in which not the individual band members but rather the unmistakable band sound stands out.
JeinSager
Alex Florin, guardian of the mystical six-stringer and Janosch Pangritz, tamer of the mighty drums, are a duo from a completely outdated western spiral arm of the Milky Way on no secret assignment. With their knowledge of occult music, acquired at music universities, they combine the magical powers of various musical forms of jazz and rock, film music and fusion – and all other terrestrial and supernatural but not subterranean forms of music in order to achieve world domination. So stand by us to improvise together for justice, basic rights and good coffee.
Afropean Project
The african balafon and the caribbean steelpan meet jazz piano and drums for an exciting journey along funk, soul, rock and jazz. Multicultural music inspired by afro and latin style, european classic and american jazz… Ethno-jazz-soul-funk!
Jazzpocalyse
A unique collaboration between four young musicians and composers from Poland and Germany. Being on stage, they paint a bigger sound picture using spontaneous free jazz moments along with thoroughly composed songs, using lyrical, fragile and silent colours as well as noisy electro-jazz textures. Their music is eclectic, with strong modern jazz roots, but draws also from psychodelic rock and free jazz. They performed in Poland, Germany and Italy. Jakub Skowronski on saxophone, Sebastian Zawadzki on piano and synth bass, Wojtek Swieca on guitar and drummer Janosch Pangritz explore the limits of their common language: JAZZ!
In september 2012 they won the first prize of „European Jazz Contest“.

„Das wunderbare Debut-Album »Forever looking up«: Mit Liebe zum Detail hat das Trio live zehn wunderschöne Songs eingespielt; so gleichermaßen rau und feingeschliffen, dass man niederknien möchte.“ – Ragaprong Records
