the bottomline

For this up-and-coming duo from Cologne, jazz is, rather, a musical philosophy; with their unique blend of urban jazz, classical music and electronic influences, they skilfully captivate their audience. Always in search of the underlying essence of music, Franzis Lating and Johannes Elia Nuß set off with virtuosity into uncharted musical realms. Lyrical motifs, polyrhythmic layers, coordinated interplay, unusual song structures and the remarkably artistic expression of the singer’s voice form the shared essence of their distinctive compositions.
