Re.chat Quintet has its roots in Berlin and Ljubljana. It combines jazz musicians and friends from high school in Slovenia, who went on to study in Berlin, Graz and Vienna. The music consists of original pieces inspired by traditional music of the Balkans, as well as folkloric pieces arranged for the quintet and involving elements of their improvisational approach. The group focuses on an energetic and playful performance, making sure to honour the traditional music, but keeping a fresh and innovative approach.
