Jamboree Jazz Club Plaça Reial 17, 08002 Barcelona

The Amsterdam based, award winning Guy Salamon Group is one of the most notable young bands in the jazz scene. This international octet has made a strong impression on audiences and critics throughout Europe and is now returning with Free Hugs, the group's brand new album.
Led by Israeli-born drummer Guy Salamon, it features performers of various origins, including the Catalans Irene Reig, Lucas Martínez and Xavi Torres. Salamon leads a band with pieces of his own and a style based on exploration, hybridization and the search for a balance between “a mixture of folk music, wild improvisation, ‘visual music’ and comforting humor.” The Dutch newspaper NRC described their approach as “kaleidoscopic and insanely brilliant,” with compositions “ranging from swing to punk to polka.” So far, with this unique formula, the Guy Salamon Group has won the Keep An Eye competition, one of the most prestigious in the world reserved for emerging bands, and has performed at leading events, such as the North Sea Festival and the Jazzahead fair. Next stop: Barcelona.
