Oslo Kulturnatt: Ivan Mazuze Band med gjester

Energetic mix of African rhythms and jazz, saxophonist Ivan Mazuze needs no further presentation to the Cosmopolite Scene audience.

He has been here several times, with his eminent saxophone playing deeply rooted in African jazz, his melodies are supported by a powerful rhythm section consisting of acoustic bass, guitar, grand piano and drums as columns, which makes room for the improvisations that create a moving landscape between jazz and the African soundscape.

Now he returns - as good friends do, with his good friends.

• Ivan Mazuze - Saxophones
• Jens Fossum - bass
• Bjørn Vidar Solli - guitar
• Olga Konkova - grand piano
• Raciel Torres - drums
• Sidiki Camara - percussion

Call it world jazz, fusion or African jazz, the result is exciting no matter what quickly captures both the heart and the dance floor!

“…a sophisticated mastery of song forms which put simple, elegant harmonies over shifting rhythmic patterns...” - Chris Barber - Jazzviews

The concert is part of Oslo Culture Night
