Stuck in an Elevator

Stuck in an Elevator connects the sonorities of rock with the harmonic heritage of jazz, resulting in music that moves between tightly composed material and the raw energy of modern rock and metal. Strong backbeats and intricate rhythmic figures form the foundation upon which the quintet builds its own sound. Delaram Kafashzadeh vocals, Yehorii Uzhva alto saxophone, Elias Leverato piano/keyboards, David Guerreiro bass, Diego Miranda drums.

Yehorii Uzhva - The Trace

The Trace is a collective quartet formed in 2025 that has since developed a repertoire of original compositions, shaped by the diverse backgrounds of its members. The music balances virtuosity and sensitivity, with a strong emphasis on mutual interaction. Cinematic textures alternate with energetic moments, on the border between written material and spontaneous improvisation. Yehorii Uzhva tenor saxophone, Theo Naishtat guitar, Søren Christensen double bass, Aviv Maya drums.
