Nardis Jazz Club / June 7^th, 2010 / 21.00

Elifantree is playing original music with vocals, saxophone and drums (and also clockenspiel, melodica and cello). The original band sound and the influence of various music styles such as electronic music, folk and pop makes Elifantree stand out from the standard category of jazz. Improvisation, wide dynamics and collective creativeness are essential in Elifantree’s music.

Elifantree has played several festivals and clubs around Europe: Sudtirol Jazz Festival (Italy), Young Generation Jazz Festival (Berlin, Germany), Mariehamn Winter Jazz Festival (Mariehamn) and Nasjonal Jazz Scene (Oslo) among othe

rs. Elifantree also shared a tour in Finland with Vincent Courtois Quartet in November 2009. The tour was managed by Charles Gil and Finnish Jazz Federation.

Both audience and critics have praised the bands highly energetic live shows.

Autumn Concerts – PORI – 16-17 October 2010

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 23:42:08 +0000

Kokemaki City Hall / October 16^th, 2010 / 22.00

Palmgren Conservatory / October 17^th, 2010 / 22.00

The autumn concerts in Kokemaki town and Pori are performed by Pori Big Band conducted by Petri Juutilainen and the soloist is Aziz Şenol Filiz on ney. The tunes from Turkish traditional folk and art music are specially arranged by Cem Tuncer, who is one of the arrangers of State Radio and Television (TRT) Big Band in Istanbul. This is a very unique project, a ney and jazz big band had never played together before. The project signifies Turkey’s tradition uniting with the international art forms of today by the artistry and artwork of an arranger from Istanbul, providing the musical encounters of the jazz musicians of Pori and a virtuoso of ney which is a very tradional Turkish instrument.
