Jazz music of a tremendously elegant quality, the kind that does not linger in the classical realm, but rather unfolds many interesting interconnections to other styles. PURPLE IS THE COLOR sets sail to special musical shores, to shores on which the dignified sound of jazz can develop its full radiance free of conventional constraints. The aim of Simon Raab (piano), Stepán Flagar (saxophone), Martin Kocián (bass) and Michal Wierzgon (drums) is to touch the audience with their music, release deep-rooted feelings and trigger emotions. Purple is the Color have been selected as NASOM “New Austrian Sound of Music” act 2020-21. (Michael Ternai, Mica Austria 2019)

Purple is he Color is the stage band for the 2024/25 season and the quartet will take this as an opportunity to change their monthly color chameleon-like - i.e. invite different guests to different programs. True to mingus' motto "Orange Was the Color of Her Dress, Then Silk Blue(s)". Welcome to the club! CH
