Tariška/Hodek Modal Trap ft. Benito Gonzalez (SK/USA)

A defining feature of the ensemble is its work with open forms, extended modal passages and carefully shaped dynamic tension, which create space for free yet structurally anchored improvisation. Traditional jazz vocabulary seamlessly intertwines with the aesthetics of contemporary urban music, a groove-oriented approach and modern rhythmic articulation. The group connects a strong European jazz tradition with the American jazz idiom, represented by the keyboard work of two-time Grammy nominee Benito Gonzalez. The result is an energetic, stylistically open and authentically contemporary sound that appeals both to discerning jazz audiences and to listeners drawn to modern forms of groove-based, hip-hop- and trap-inspired jazz.
