Filippa Gojo Quartett - Seesucht

It is not easy to imagine a warm summer rain in Greenland. Or cumin in a cream pie. Colour in "Casablanca". Freedom in North Korea. Or lush green basil in Death Valley. All these things would be unusual and unexpected. Some would be unorthodox, but perhaps interesting simply because they are so surprising. Because they are things that did not exist before.

The surprising juxtaposition of elements that might be familiar in other contexts define the wonderful style of the Filippa Gojo Quartet. At its core is the Austrian singer Filippa Gojo, who hails from the foothills of the Alps but lives presently in Cologne, Germany, and who has long been a proponent of a tasteful crossover jazz style. Her motto is "Singing outside of the box", which means for her the exploration of new territory, both vocally and conceptually. Already during her studies she broke new ground by performing solo pieces and improvisations that broke away from traditional jazz forms. This of course influences the music of the Quartet, which has been working together since 2009.
