jazzopen 2025: Okvsho +experience (Support: VYLLA)

In the organizer's words:

Okvsho +experience

Okvsho, consisting of the Zurich brothers Christoph and Georg Kiss, is an outstanding project on the modern European jazz scene. They combine their roots in beatmaking and electronic music with the sounds of young, dynamic European jazz, exploring new musical terrain in the process. Their live band project Okvsho +experience emphasizes improvisation, spontaneity and jazz as dance music and underlines their innovative approach.
