Ella Zirina and Tijs Klaassen Kwintet

Unraveler

Ella Zirina plays compositions from her new solo album 'Unraveler' on DOX Records. The album moves through different atmospheres and moods. It explores textures and techniques that express the guitar's whimsical beauty. The guitarist from Latvia graduated with honors from the Amsterdam Conservatory and was taught by Jesse van Ruller and Reinier Baas, among others.

Close group of friends

Tijs Klaassen is a much sought-after bassist in Dutch jazz. His own quintet is in fact a close group of friends. Despite their young age, the members have been playing together in various formations for almost ten years. They feel at home in the border areas between jazz, classical, electronics and free improvisation. This spring their new album 'Adhocism' will be released on ZenneZ Records and Elastic Records.
