8.30pm: Christian Scott at TrafóChristian Scott is a two-time Edison Award-winning jazz trumpeter, composer, and producer. Scott’s Grammy nominated debut, “Rewind That”, was called “arguably the most remarkable premiere the genre has seen in the last decade” by Billboard Magazine. Scott is known for developing the harmonic convention known as the “forecasting cell”, and for his use of an un-voiced tone in his playing, emphasizing breath over vibration at the mouthpiece, widely referred to as his “whisper technique”. Scott is also widely recognized as one of the progenitors of “Stretch Music”, a jazz-rooted, genre-blind musical form that attempts to “stretch” jazz’s rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic convention to encompass as many other musical forms, languages, and cultures as possible.Sunday

8pm: Jucifer, UEUM at Dürer Kert When browsing through Jucifer’s Discogs account, you will find some lovely pictures depicting Gazelle Amber Valentine and Edgar Livengood as the nice couple from next door. But if you dig just a little deeper you will find much more. Flying hair, huge piles of amplifiers, pure energy, total fury and ecstasy. Now pair that with their last full-length “Districts Of Dystopia”, released in 2014, and you will get the full picture of this raging two piece. Stated to be one the heaviest and most intense records of their quite extensive discography, they deliver an insane mixture of dragging sludge, heavy doom, and high-speed grind attacks. Rough and straightforward, the duo won’t bore you with an overproduced sound. Everything is reduced to the essentials: riffs, drums, and fierce, almost inhuman vocals.
