Double concert
Balkan Roots feat. Danny Grissett in Ameen Saleem
Jaka Kopač, saxophone; Danny Grissett,piano; Ameen Saleem, bass; Vladimir Kostadinović, drums
This band is made thanks to the inspiration of the four musicians that wish to keep the tradition of jazz language. Their aim and goal is the progress of jazz music, but first of all, the approach to the every generation and all the jazz fans. Their arrangements and original songs are based on traditional mainstream and contemporary sound, influences of jazz Giants such as: Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, etc – with a lot of groove and a mix of modern sounds.

Emilia Mårtensson is a London based Swedish vocalist and composer of considerable repute. After her three latest album releases Emilia has built a well- deserved reputation as one of the most exciting vocalists on the UK Jazz scene and she was awarded ‘Vocalist of the Year-2016′ at The Parliamentary Jazz Awards. Her gently expressive voice and highly personal compositions are firmly rooted within the folklore and countryside of her native southern Sweden, adding to the mystique and allure of a distinctive and truly original artist.

14. dec: LIUN & The Science Friction Band
Lucia Cadotsch aka LIUN, voice, synthesizer; Wanja Slavin, synthesizer; Dan Nicholls, keyboards; Lukas König, drums
LIUN – The Science Fiction Band meanders between dark, forceful beats and fragile melodic contours. Wanja’s complex, multilayered arrangements are contrasted with Lucia’s frank and translucent voice that cuts through the clutter. Their songs question societal norms of gender behaviour and reference strong-headed female artists and characters such as Kiddo, Foxy Brown or Princess Mononoke and Eleven.
Lucia Cadotsch has previously performed before the Ljubljana audiences with the bands Schneeweiss & Rosenrot (Kino Šiška) and Speak Low (Jazz Festival Ljubljana).
