bio
Fenix is an electro-acoustic jazz band, in which ambient synths, playful melodies and raw grooves merge. Their music has an open, playful character, where their shared love for improvisation and musical spontaneity results in honest music-of-the-moment. With their receptive interplay they paint a musical landscape that evolves and moves to unexpected places.
The band is a musical collective made out of four young, yet decorated musicians and composers that established themselves as “usual suspects” on the flourishing Dutch jazz scene. As bandleaders and side-men with different projects they’ve toured Holland’s main stages with regular appearances at venues like the legendary North Sea Jazz Festival and the Bimhuis. In march 2023, Fenix played the final of the prestigious Burghausen Jazz Award.
Inspired by artists like and Flying Lotus, Donny McCaslin and Avishai Cohen, they join arms for an intimate and at the same time festival-banger-worthy experience.
