Friday, March 21 - Emiliano Pintori's ORGANIX

ORGANIX is a sextet inspired by the late '60s and '70s formations, consisting of the classic organ trio (organ, guitar, drums), two wind instruments (trumpet and tenor sax/flute), and added percussion.

The group explicitly references those vintage sounds, filtered through a contemporary sensibility, aiming for a compelling blend of immediate accessibility and improvisational skill — merging driving, hypnotic grooves with intricate jazz pathways.

"For Love or Lack of Better Ideas"

A debut is always an event to savor with curiosity.

This is the case with Boris Cevapcici's EP, "For Love or Lack of Better Ideas," which from the first notes evokes unique echoes.

Caribbean sounds and those of an imaginary South America, hints of Brazil — Boris Cevapcici plays with style to share his inspirations, weaving between a Marabout and an Allie Tosy. He draws from distant, inspired sounds, breaking the obvious and revealing his originality.
