Red Kite is a pan-European Danish/English/Italian quintet that blends a conglomerate of musical genres into a vibrant and modern jazz style emphasising each individual musicians personal playing style.
The quintet is led by pianist Esben Tjalve and features italian trumpeter Fulvio Sigurta, Austrian guitarist Hannes Riepler, plus the strong rhythm section consisting of Jasper Høiby (3Elements, Planet B) and Marc Michel (Planet B, John Hollenbeck).
The instrumentation of Red Kite with trumpet, guitar, keyboards, piano, bass and drums creates a colourful fresh sound and the moods in the music vary from cinematic noir ballads to groovy car chase scenarios, creating a cinematic universe reminiscent of Miles Davis and Arve Henriksen.
Red Kite has previously released the album Theory of Colours to critical acclaim which was recognised with an invitationto play the European showcase at Jazzahead in Bremen.
This concerts marks the release on the Babel Label of their new album Popludium.
“Pleasingly melodic but also deeply rhythmic, easily digestible yet subtly challenging, and just full of good ideas allied to exemplary playing.”
The Jazz Mann
“…..every track contains an abundance of beauty and originality, with serene melodies and subtle arrangements which give plenty of scope for improvisation.”
Peter Jones, London Jazz News.
“Red Kite delivered two richly compelling sets that left me wanting to hear the music again, and more of what’s shaping up to be brilliant pan-European ensemble, happily with strong base in UK.”
