GoGo Penguin are known as electrifying live performers and innovative soundtrack composers. The Manchester trio combines electronic and club atmospheres with minimalist jazz and rock influences. On piano, bass and drums, they pulse the music from the dance floor to meditative inner worlds, opening up whole new worlds of sound.
This weekend, jazz is in the house! The classic acoustic jazz sound of the all-star band 4 Wheel Drive around trombonist Nils Landgren is followed just one night later by a more electronic approach to the genre with GoGo Penguin. For two evenings, jazz fans can immerse themselves in sound worlds between repertoire classics, free improvisation and minimal music touches in jazz garb. Whether quartet or trio - the two formations are united by their love of melodic soundscapes and a rhythmic drive that no one can resist.
