About The Event
The Great Harry Hillman is a Swiss post-jazz quartet, which has been playing together for ten years. You’re correct to assume that a band named in tribute to an American athlete of the early 20th century is not your ‘normal’ jazz band adhering to staid standards. Their music combines jazz, rock, and improv into a subdued, layered, yet thrilling sound – quiet but powerful, played by four thoughtful musicians who are more than capable of rocking out when they feel like it. More often than not rather they wrap the listener in delicately constructed sonic webs of indefinable beauty. After Livingston (2013) and Veer Off Course (2015) The Great Harry Hillman now presents their 3rd album TILT (2017), released on Cuneiform Records.
Giants of Jazz celebrates the best of international and Indian musicians and their love for jazz. The festival brings together live performances from incredible artists in celebration of music that is democratic, inclusive, powerfully emotional, and that speaks to people of all races and nationalities. This festival by The Piano Man recognizes both group and individualistic expressions of Jazz. Each day is a unique experience in itself. The line-up explores the century of tradition of jazz and traces its evolution through the ages and its effects on a variety of genres of music.
The fifth edition of Giants of Jazz 2019 promises a roster of artists that will leave you gripping the edge of your seats.
