Septets and tentets are the settings in which her compositions – shaped by the percussive\, deeply layered harmonic textures of vibraphone and marimba – fully come to life. These settings are\, in a sense\, extensions of her core quartet\, More Touch\, augmented either by a string or a brass section. For this septet\, she draws on top-tier improvisers\, trumpeter Mike Rodriguez and saxophonists Jon Irabagon and Mark Shim. In this new constellation\, Brennan explores uncharted musical terrain as though exploring new solar systems – quite literally. As an amateur astronomer\, she translates stellar constellations into chord progressions and melodic patterns\, constructing new sonic dimensions and alternative worlds. \nShe grew up in Veracruz\, Mexico\, a coastal city known for its rich heritage and a culture shaped by Afro-Caribbean influences. Patricia Brennan instinctively incorporates this musical tradition – characterised by distinctive rhythmic structures\, with the marimba at its core – into her music. Her work blends Mexican folk heritage\, classical music\, the urban complexity of contemporary jazz\, and experimental improvisation shaped by the New York City scene\, which played a formative role in her artistic development. She approaches composing with an orchestral sensibility stemming from her classical piano training – having begun studying piano at the local conservatory at the age of four\, inspired by her father\, an amateur percussionist. \n...More ...\nPatricia Brennan’s last two albums have met with widespread critical acclaim. The music on Breaking Stretch has been described as “unbridled\, almost geological\, as if echoing tectonic plates shifting beneath the surface\,” and it topped jazz album-of-the-year lists in DownBeat\, The New York Times\, and NPR. Last year\, her fourth album\, Of The Near And Far\, was released on Pyroclastic Records\, the label of fellow pianist Kris Davis\, with whom she collaborates frequently. This fourth outing was hailed as a “quantum leap” in her body of work\, for its “beyond-category” music that feels “almost cinematic”.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjaXZi76UIw” css=”.vc_custom_1776242710102{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyWu_0IzWFM” css=”.vc_custom_1776242726859{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejTOidMh97E” css=”.vc_custom_1776242742811{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Błoto stands for reduction\, or a shift towards a more brutal and rudimentary\, groove-focused expression rooted in hip-hop – with loose references to the gritty\, sampladelic sound of the 1990s. \nTheir music is grounded in massive\, looping structures\, where heavy basslines\, precise drumbeats\, and repetitive motifs take centre stage\, evolving through subtle improvisation. While jazz remains ever-present as a substructure\, Błoto deliberately avoid complexity for complexity’s sake\, instead prioritising feeling\, texture\, and hypnotic rhythm. The result is both minimal and intense – a sound that is at once direct\, raw\, and relentless. \nReleased in 2020\, the quartet’s debut album\, Erozje\, is a minimalist yet massive soundscape of decay and transfiguration. Beyond their classic album projects\, the band is also known for numerous tributes dedicated to one of hip-hop’s most influential producers\, J Dilla\, culminating in the 2026 release of We Remember J Dilla. \n...More ...\nIn their performances and recordings\, Błoto seek to capture the tension arising from broader social realities\, including fragmentation and stratification\, rising nationalism\, political crises\, and systemic violence. Their distinctive approach speaks to a wide-ranging audience – spanning hip-hop and electronic music through to avant-garde jazz.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2NQ6-uck-Y” css=”.vc_custom_1776156865201{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d5pq_Y-XTk” css=”.vc_custom_1776157065472{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1LFxsaq_0g” css=”.vc_custom_1776156923778{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A former member of the renowned Ljubljana collective RDYO DJs\, he is now part of the GOR association for the promotion of hip-hop culture and the driving force behind Big Nose in Ljubljana: not just a record shop\, but a much-loved music haunt and cultural venue.\nAfter closing the 2024 festival’s Friday night programme in spectacular fashion\, K’Pow returns to the decks with another perfectly curated – and highly danceable – set. Expect strong jazz influences and samples\, jazz and funk originals later reimagined in rap tracks\, as well as nu jazz and broken beat selections.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=”.vc_custom_1778138165921{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=”.vc_custom_1778138170501{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=”.vc_custom_1778138175448{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Over the years\, he has gained an international reputation as a versatile musician of exceptional clarity and finely honed articulation: a multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, arranger\, and producer who moves effortlessly between jazz\, classical\, and popular music\, while consistently maintaining a distinctive artistic voice. As a composer\, he has released seven internationally acclaimed albums to date. \nAt our festival\, Črnčec will present his new album in the most intimate musical formation of all – the solo piano setting\, indispensable to pianists.

Furthermore\, the core of his musical expression\, rests on a solid foundation. He studied jazz at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York\, where – perhaps more importantly than the degree he never completed – he met Robert Glasper\, a frequent collaborator\, through whom Bilal became involved with artists such as Q-Tip and Mos Def. \nA singer\, songwriter\, multi instrumentalist and producer considered one of the United States’ most distinctive musicians at the intersection of contemporary R&B\, neo soul and jazz\, Bilal is a key innovator in contemporary African American music. Acclaimed for his wide vocal range and improvisational skills\, as well as his ability to blend and seamlessly transition between genres\, he has garnered particular praise for his unique\, unforgettable live performances. \n...More ...\nHis debut album\, 1st Born Second (2001)\, was released under the guidance of producers including Dr. Dre\, James Poyser\, and J Dilla. Any attempt to list all of his collaborators would be needless\, but it remains important to note that during the pivotal late 1990s\, Bilal was deeply immersed in New York’s vibrant rap and neo soul scene. His invaluable dedication earned him a place in the experimental collective The Soulquarians – a group of artists blending jazz\, soul\, and hip hop influences (alongside D’Angelo\, Erykah Badu\, Questlove\, Mos Def\, Talib Kweli\, J Dilla\, and Raphael Saadiq\, among others). This truly unique\, if not revolutionary\, collective redefined American Black popular music and left an enduring legacy of musical innovation.\nAs a featured artist on Kendrick Lamar’s song These Walls (as well as several other tracks on the album To Pimp a Butterfly)\, Bilal shares a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Performance\, while his performance with The Roots is widely regarded as one of the most engaging in the entire Tiny Desk series. His most recent album\, Adjust Brightness\, came out last year. While all of this already sounds impressive\, it offers only a brief glimpse into the remarkable credentials of this singular artist.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB4oFu4BtQ8″ css=”.vc_custom_1774951601002{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB7fhyqh0IM&list=RDnB7fhyqh0IM” css=”.vc_custom_1774951606027{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgSjKelFElE&list=RDsgSjKelFElE&start_radio=1&t=6s” css=”.vc_custom_1774951611196{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The project is dedicated to individuals and groups who confront challenges and\, through determination and courage\, contribute to building a more just society. Among them are incredible figures from Julian Assange to Francesca Albanese. \nDuring the first wave of the pandemic\, marked by significant social and political uncertainty\, Kaučič assumed the roles of composer\, artistic director\, and conductor of an eleven-member ensemble. The result is an extensive\, socially engaged suite that uses the language of music to honour perseverance\, solidarity\, and collective responsibility. It was premiered at the Jazz & Wine of Peace festival. Since then\, the work has continually evolved in response to shifting global circumstances\, while the ensemble brings together former Kaučič students alongside established Italian musicians.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=”.vc_custom_1777974401814{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=”.vc_custom_1777974408719{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=”.vc_custom_1777974416210{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

His recent large-scale opus with the London Symphony Orchestra forms a trilogy: The Black Peril (2019)\, White Juju (2022)\, and its final instalment\, Soundtrack to the Apocalypse\, premiered this year at the Barbican Centre. \nThe apocalypse\, in his vision\, is not so ominous and ultimate\, since he connects it to the Ancient Greek meaning\, which is revelation or disclosure\, adding that it is revealing “not just what’s wrong\, but what might still be possible”.\nKinch’s projects are conceptual contemplations in which the openness of jazz meets classical composition\, while rap becomes a kind of libretto for sonic experiments that can make you dance as well. Because of his musical breadth\, Amy Winehouse counted him among the musicians she wished to collaborate with. \nSurrounded by art from an early age – his late father\, Don Kinch\, was a renowned playwright and theatre director\, Soweto Kinch\, who also studied Modern History at Oxford\, has long believed that art can change how people see the world. He often imagines alternative worlds: sometimes in a spiritual Afro-futurist vein\, and sometimes quite concretely – as a “Jazz Planet”\, where swinging would be a government law; office culture would include regular breaks to listen to bass solos; and the most prestigious social event would be a jam session. \nThrough albums such as The New Emancipation (2010) and The Legend of Mike Smith (2013)\, he explores themes of identity\, social mobility\, and structural inequality in contemporary Britain. \nAt Ljubljana Jazz Festival\, he will distil his expansive body of work\, including the core of the forementioned trilogy\, into the trio format\, which remains the setting that allows him most creative freedom.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilcOFy3gYE4″ css=”.vc_custom_1778051971448{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOuDt2JNcBk” css=”.vc_custom_1778051980285{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYD7tpJud9Q” css=”.vc_custom_1778051989585{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A powerful rhythm section – drums\, percussion\, and bass – creates a solid foundation while opening space for improvisation by piano\, synthesizers\, saxophone\, and flute. Electronic elements add a subtle atmospheric dimension\, expanding the sonic landscape. The project elegantly navigates the intersection of contemporary jazz\, improvisation\, and electronic music\, blending technical mastery with expressive freedom. A distinctly rhythmic combo\, ideally suited to close this year’s festival edition. \nAbout arist-in-residence:\nLenart De Bock (SI\, BE) \nSaxophonist\, composer\, and improviser Lenart De Bock is best known as the leader of his quintet\, co-leader of the Soothsayer trio\, and a member of the Zhlehtet collective. An exceptionally prolific young artist\, De Bock has recently focused on developing a distinctive musical voice characterized by a warm tone\, lyrical expressiveness\, and an openness to improvisation. In addition to his own projects\, he appears on several albums as a sideman\, and occasionally as a co-leader and co-composer. \nHe has performed and recorded with a number of renowned Slovenian and international jazz musicians\, including Jim Rotondi\, Rick Margitza\, Marko Črnčec\, Daniel Nösig\, and João Moreira. Lenart has appeared at major Slovenian festivals (Jazz Festival Ljubljana\, Jazz Cerkno\, Jazzinty\, among others) and has also toured in Brazil\, Austria\, and across Europe. \nThe centrepiece of his work as a composer is last year’s debut album A Plea for Tenderness\, which offers a vivid\, communal reflection on the jazz tradition as shaped\, for example\, in the more spiritual strands of artists such as the Art Ensemble of Chicago\, Alice Coltrane\, and Pharoah Sanders. At its core\, the album explores a predominantly flowing and tender spirituality\, articulated with exceptional precision\, refinement\, integrity\, and fervour\, and enriched by subtle inflections of classical and folk music.\nAs this year’s festival resident artist\, De Bock will present two brand-new projects: a quartet and a percussion ensemble.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=”.vc_custom_1777970866251{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=”.vc_custom_1777970874854{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=”.vc_custom_1777970882350{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
