The band\u2019s sound is grounded in rhythm, groove, and layered textures. A powerful rhythm section \u2013 drums, percussion, and bass \u2013 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\u2019s festival edition.<\/p>\n

About arist-in-residence:<\/h6>\n

Lenart De Bock (SI, BE)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saxophonist, 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.<\/p>\n

He has performed and recorded with a number of renowned Slovenian and international jazz musicians, including Jim Rotondi, Rick Margitza, Marko \u010crn\u010dec, Daniel N\u00f6sig, and Jo\u00e3o 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.<\/p>\n

The centrepiece of his work as a composer is last year\u2019s debut album A Plea for Tenderness<\/em>, 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\u2019s 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]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
