Okvsho +experience 'A place between us'

 

Okvsho is one of the most interesting and promising projects in the European modern jazz scene. The two brothers (Christoph & Georg Kiss) from Zurich, Switzerland who form Okvsho let their original musical background in beat-making and electronic music flow in with the sounds of the young and vibrant European jazz scene and discover new grounds at the same time. Through playing with local jazz musicians their live-band project Okvsho +Experience emerged, which celebrates improvisation, spontaneity, and jazz as dance music.

 

“A Place Between the two of us, the people who are listening, the people who contributed, and the people who inspired us…”
Finally, almost three years after the well-received Orange Wine EP, and three international tours with the +experience, Okvsho is back with their fourth project “A Place Between Us”. Georg and Christoph Kiss, the two brothers behind Okvsho, are showcasing a project that is more intimate and bolder than ever, offering an insight into their thoughts, feelings, and experiences during the last two years. The unique style Okvsho has become known for in recent years has once again evolved, combining organic and electronic elements with beautiful harmonies and expressive rhythms.

 

Okvsho's 2nd LP will also be the first full-length project to be released on the newly founded Zurich-based label Current Moves, with which the Okvsho-brothers aim to shape the young European jazz scene they are inspired by and also an established part of.
