The Hot Club of Berlin Presents: Francisco Batista Quartet

"The Hot Club of Berlin Presents" is a monthly concert program of the finest Gypsy Jazz, Swing and acoustic music, hosted at 800a Bar and Cabaret. On the first Saturday of each month we invite a band from the vibrant Gypsy Jazz and Swing scene to perform.

This month we are proud to present the Francisco Batista Quartet:

-------

Emerging from Berlin and rooted in Gypsy Jazz, this exciting new project offers a new perspective on acoustic music. By going away from the traditional way of playing Gypsy Jazz, the mix and influence of Latin American rhythms such as Tango, Candombe or Samba are easily heard.

The Francisco Batista Quartet explores the possibilities of combining through-composed music with improvisation, virtuosity, different timbres and more conventional forms of music.

The results are melodies filled with imagery, climaxes and stories waiting to be heard
