Rupert Kirchmair 4tet
A joy of playing that fills the room, the head and the heart. From lyrically delicate to ecstatically sparkling. From relaxed swinging to energetic rocking. The band draws the raw materials for its improvisations not only from jazz but also from the art music of past centuries and popular music.

Mario Berger guitar solo
"When Mario Berger picks up the strings, you feel transported to another, more beautiful world." This reaction from his audience is probably the reason why many enthusiastic reviews and concert tours through Austria, southern France, Switzerland and Spain followed the release of his solo album "Sentimento".

BABA YAGA
In Slavic mythology, we know Baba Yaga as a wild, unpredictable, often dangerous female figure. And this is exactly what the band Baba Yaga sounds like: spirited Balkan tunes mix with virtuoso klezmer pieces, lively gypsy jazz and sensual oriental dances.

SMART MERTAL HORNETS
The main artistic concern of this trio is to rework and fuse traditional material from various musical areas in an innovative, original and, not least, humorous way in rhythmic, harmonic, melodic and formal terms, whereby this fusion has concentrated for some time on down-to-earth folk music.
