After a long love relationship with the Belgrade clubgoers, today they are regular acts at local and international jazz festivals as they promote one of the most ambitious Serbian instrumental work ever, their double album 3 Keys (3 ključa). As an opening act for the 34th Belgrade Jazz Festival, they will introduce their latest, fourth album with the help from a special international guest.

He released three solo albums and at this Festival he presents his project The Seasons, inspired by Tchaikovsky’s works of the same name. He made a video for each month of the year with a different jazz partner while two of them, guitarist Gilad Hekselman (first in the Rising Star category of Downbeat magazine in 2017) and bassist Matt Brewer are members of the performing Seasons Band.

Through her work mainly on the New York jazz scene, Ingrid collaborated with a number of small combos as leader or sideman, and for almost two decades she has been in the Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra. Christine is a part of the Montreal scene, she has been awarded the Oscar Peterson Prize of the FIJM 2017 and the same year was voted Rising Star – Soprano Sax in the Downbeat Critics Poll. This joint project won the JUNO (Canadian equivalent of Grammy) in the category Jazz Album of the Year: Group, for 2018.

Mário Laginha (piano, Portugal) is best known for his long-time partnership with Maria João, Julian Argüelles (saxophones, Great Britain) has been a member of the legendary Loose Tubes orchestra, while Helge Andreas Norbakken (percussion, Norway) collaborated with Mari Boine, Jon Balke, Kari Bremnes and Jon Hassell, among others. This collective joins their different emotions – the warmth of Laginha’s pianism (who is the main composer), the energy of Norbakken, as well as the lyricism and English romanticism of Argüelles.
