BSDE 4TET

BSDE 4tet is a young jazz group based partially in the Netherlands and partially in Italy. We take advantage of the different backgrounds of our members to create a fresh new sound in all original compositions. Our music combines aspects of free jazz, hard-bop and modern harmonies and rhythms together with folk material from the countries of origin of the group members and their cultural encounters. Some of our compositions are based on tragic events that happened in recent years and express both disappointment and constructive criticism. We strongly believe that music is an important social moment to share emotions and thoughts. We believe, in fact, that jazz can also still lead to reflection and change as it has done in the past. The BSDE 4tet received the Roberto Zelioli Award during our tour in Italy in 2019, and its saxophone player most recently won the Giorgio Gaslini International Award read more...
