Contemporary jazz with a touch of rock – dynamic, surprising and captivating.

The music of the "Driftwood Quartet" evolves from fragile miniatures to orchestral soundscapes and edgy riffs. The band skillfully navigates the tension between melodic composition, polyrhythmic structure, and individuality in interplay and improvisation. Driven by curiosity and a spirit of discovery, Joa Frey continually tests new concepts in his compositions, drawing inspiration from natural phenomena and personal stories.

The result is complex and ambitious pieces that, at their core, always convey simplicity and a dynamic, flowing groove. This opens up musical worlds for the audience that are accessible and enjoyable.

"When guitar and saxophone come together to create quiet hymn-like lines, such as in "New Hive," it can certainly evoke memories of the jazz-Americana epics of Brian Blades Fellowship. As a collective of young jazz artists on the rise, the Driftwood Quartet is a worthy 100th anniversary act of the "Jazz thing Next Generation" series founded in 2003."
