With over a thousand concerts in 32 countries under his belt, Mattias Nilsson (born 1980) has become one of the best-known Swedish pianists in the world. He draws his influences from jazz, folk and classical music, embracing Scandinavian folklore and a certain Nordic melancholy. His improvisations full of warmth conjure up a uniquely nuanced musical landscape.
Marcel Palonder has been a well-known member of the Slovakian music scene for over three decades. Along with other Slovakian jazzmen, in 1990 he established one of the first post-revolutionary jazz clubs in Bratislava. In 2005, he founded Tango Ultimo, a unique tango-jazz band, before moving a few years later to Paris, where he has collaborated with musicians of all nationalities. At the same time, he has performed at major festivals such as Glastonbury.
