We are delighted to invite you to the 6th Edition of the Hyderabad Jazz Festival, an exceptional celebration of music, culture, and creativity. This prestigious event is proudly presented by the U.S. Consulate General Hyderabad, the Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad.
Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring performances by four extraordinary bands:
• Native Jazz Quartet from the United States of America
• Malstrom from Germany
• Cacha Mundino, a collective of eclectic musicians from around the globe
• George Hull Collective, Hyderabad’s very own jazz ensemble
Malstrom is a musical powerhouse from Germany and Switzerland - with a magnificent beard. Malstrom uses sounds and influences from progressive rock, nu metal and electronic music. Thanks to an improvisational philosophy and complex compositions, the trio gives them a completely new guise. The band's sound is a mixture of jazz, free improvisation and rock elements from the 90s. The lack of a bass instrument means that the band members are never at rest. The full, sometimes brute sound facade is produced by the 8-string electric guitar, merciless grooves and ostinatos as well as saxophone.
The Malstrom devours everything in its reach, be it light, sound or matter. It sucks everything into its vortex, drawing it deeper and deeper into the very center of the Malstrom. But what do you find at the core, at the very bottom of the swirl? The eye of the storm? A void, sheer nothingness? Is it a place of calmness that contrasts the furious edges? Does the Malstrom ever end? And most importantly: Are you ready to find out?
Experience the magic of jazz under the stars as diverse talents come together to create a night to remember.
