Premiere of the Autumn Jazz Night project! A new format will add up to the well knows ones: Open Mic, New Generation, Battle and WorkShop.
28 September, concert agency CAD and online.fm present European Jazz. The Groove Syndicate (Poland-UK) will open the project.
The members of The Groove Syndicate met each other in London during their study at the Middlesex University. The first step of playing music together was their project called FBI (Fortuna-Bartholomew International) Project. Roman Baruna (keyboard, Ukraine) and Wojeciech Zwierniak (saxophone, Poland) took part in this project. Guys were on tour with the it in 2008 and visited Krakow, Bochnia and Lviv. The payoff came in due time and very soon the band performed at the Jazz Bez festival. FBI (Fortuna-Bartholomew International) Project became the youngest band of this event.
In 2009, on their way to The Groove Syndicate, the USA pianist of the international level Nick Schlueter and the teacher of the International Summer Jazz Academy (ISJA) joined FBI. Together they created The Nick Schlueter Quartet. This cooperation was successful. Together musicians wrote and recorded a number of original compositions, which they performed in Poland and Ukraine. The tunes turned out to be really "groovy" to make sophisticated jazz lovers dance, still preserving refinement of this kind of music.
Today The Groove Syndicate is taking aboard a new member – the young and talented piano player Ewan Duffus. He sees jazz as something modern and deeply conceptual. People who worked with him say that he creates chords that add wings to the music.
The Groove Syndicate are going on tour in Eastern Europe this autumn. During this tour musicians will take part in the Autumn Jazz Night. They will open the new format of the project on 28 September and will play real European jazz on the stage of the art-club "44"
