YONI MAYRAZ *live

In the organizer's words:

Yoni Mayraz (Astigmatic/IL) *live*

Keyboardist and producer Yoni Mayraz combines jazz with elements of 90s New York hip-hop, old-school breakbeats and music from the Middle East to create new, dazzling hybrid forms. Just how well a hip-hop production can be combined with the improvisational spirit of spiritual jazz music can be heard on his 2020 EP Rough Cuts and his debut album "Dybbuk Tse!". His new album "Dogs Bark Babies Cry" will be released in the fall and he will be back at the Gretchen with it. He will almost certainly be bringing his Moog synthesizer with him again, from which he elicited sounds on his last visit that still resonate here. It's not for nothing that the box is on every press photo.

"Dogs Bark Babies Cry" is dedicated to the exploration of fears and longings through musical expression. Backed by bassist Tom Driessler (Yussef Dayes, Adele) and drummer Zoe Pascal, the album showcases Yoni's distinctive, cosmopolitan approach, combining jazz elements with modern, experimental and electronic themes. The album features guest appearances by Fly Anakin Tenderlonious, Miriam Adefris and JSPHYNX.

As a highly talented keyboardist and producer, Yoni conquered the new jazz scene in 2020 with his EP "Rough Cuts". Since then, the London-based musician has collaborated with artists such as Ruby Rushton and dance legend El-B. "Dybbuk Tse!" catapulted Mayraz to the forefront of the international jazz scene and has been reviewed by outlets such as KEXP, KCRW, BBC 6, Bandcamp Weekly and CLASH Mag. Mayraz has toured extensively with his band, playing venues and festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival, The Jazz Cafe London, Brussels Jazz Festival, Ronnie Scott's London and others.
