Experimental musicians Kazuhisa Uchihashi and Frank Gratkowski launch Sofia Free Jazz

The Sofia Free Jazz Festival will be inaugurated today by two legendary musicians of experimental music and unconventional jazz - Frank Gratkowski (Germany) and Kazuhisa Uchihashi (Japan). Sofia Free Jazz is the new series of the Bulgarian National Radio's Alarm Punk Jazz Radio Festival, dedicated to free improvisation, free jazz and generally more unconventional forms of contemporary instrumental music. It is organised in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut - Bulgaria.

The two prominent virtuosos of the Berlin avant-garde scene will present their joint duo project, whose first album will be released later this year, in the Singles Hall of the National Palace of Culture (NDK). Gratkowski and Uchihashi have been playing together for almost a decade, and have frequently collaborated with each other in various extended formations of selected avant-garde musicians - SKEIN, Achim Kaufmann's Trokaan Project, Frank Gratkowski's Entrainment and Altered States. The unexpected musical twists in their projects take the listener beyond any genre stereotypes.
