Horizonte 2025 in der Kulturpraline Tornow Francesco Beccaro Quartett / Kaskadeur

In the organizer's words:

FRANCESCO BECCARO - Quartet

"Hard grooves, wild improvisations and soulful compositions: a night you won't forget!" UPWARD is highly energetic, intense and improvisational and relies on layered structures. The kind of fusion that has a raw yet impressive sound reminiscent of Metheny, Zawinul, Mehldau, Scofield, but also pop-rock, Bowie, Prince, Radiohead and D'Angelo. The compositions relate strongly to daily life, including all political and social issues. Each piece conveys a clear message and aims to take the listener with it. One experiences rebellion, melancholy, positivity or simply relaxed grooves while listening. Francesco is joined by some of the best musicians on the European scene - each of them is also a bandleader in their own right, bringing their unique personality to the music.

KASKADEUR have been an integral part of their scene for over 10 years. Their sound, a mixture of psych, prog, noise and jazz rock, combined with a good dose of genre escapism, has earned them the title "New Wave of Krautrock" (Classic Rock Magazin/GER).

KASKADEUR consistently continue the musical roundhouse kick that they unleashed with their debut UNCANNY VALLEY (2020) on their latest album PHANTOM VIBRATIONS (2023). The album was recorded at the renowned CANDY BOMBER STUDIOS BERLIN together with Ingo Krauss, who

who has already worked with legends such as IGGY POP, NICK CAVE, SWANS and NINA HAGEN.

After numerous shows in Germany and Europe with bands such as FATSO JETSON, KADAVAR, ROTOR and 1000 MODS, they were recently selected as special guests for ZZ TOP frontman BILLY GIBBONS and were allowed to support him on the entire German tour (June 2023).
