UmaX
UmaX is a collaboration between pianist Edwin Berg and drummer Jean-Clair de Ruwe. Rooted in improvisation, the duo brings together jazz, classical music and minimalism in an original musical language. Alongside original compositions, UmaX creates contemporary reworks of composers such as Bach, Mozart and Chopin, always leaving room for spontaneity, interaction and discovery.
Oster, Glaßmann, de Ruwe
Plays contemporary jazz; music rooted in tradition with a modern approach. Standards and Originals brought with integrity. The listener is carried away by harmonic and rhythmic ingenuity, wrapped in energetic grooves and ballads that capture the imagination. Pleasant to the ear but with urgency.
