Ivan Mazuze Band

An elegant and playful saxophone tone connected with outward-looking musical energy, which can sometimes give associations to American greats despite: The roots are still deeply rooted in African tradition and rhythm. Call it world jazz, fusion or African jazz, the result is exciting anyway.

Award-winning saxophonist Ivan Mazuze  combines jazz with African plyrhythms. The result is a playful and characteristic soundscape with elements of modern Nordic jazz.

"With a core band consisting of Olga Konkova on keyboards, Per Mathisen on bass and Raciel Torres on drums, the party is in the very best hands - hands that ensure that musical doors with melodic and rhythmic roots in various corners of the world open" - Tor Hammero
