Sylvia Bruckner is one of the best-known Austrian jazz pianists and has developed her own specific style and sound with her compositions and improvisations. Her works range from new music and free jazz to experimental rock music, which she realises solo as well as with instrumental and vocal partners. She is a prominent personality in the European improvised music scene. She has performed with renowned musicians such as John Butcher, Hamid Drake, Joëlle Léandre, Tony Buck, Susanna Gartmayer, Didi Kern, Martin Siewert, and Willi Kellers, among many others. In addition to these collaborations, she also enjoys performing solo concerts, where she can display the abundance of her imagination, inventiveness, and her wide range of expression.

For her new quartet, she has chosen musicians with whom she has worked individually before. These are her former duos, which she has combined to form a classical jazz quartet (saxophone, piano, double bass and drums). In fact, although they are all prominent figures in contemporary improvised music, they all share a common jazz foundation and are still close to jazz in its various forms. After all, isn't contemporary improvised music a direct continuation of jazz - except that instead of European light music brought to America in the form of musicals, it uses the expressive devices of avant-garde and experimental music? All of these musicians have a very wide range of styles and playing techniques in which they move with an ease that might be called creative virtuosity. If Sylvia Bruckner has found common ground with everyone before, and Radim Hanousek, Yoram Rosilio and

Valentin Duit often perform together as a trio, this new combination of hers raises very pleasant expectations. Radim Hanousek focuses on various forms of improvisation, intermediality and projects on the border of jazz and contemporary classical music as an interpreter (saxophonist) and composer. In 2009 he co-founded the Norwegian-Czech jazz quartet NOCZ (Didrik Ingvaldsen, Dag Magnus Narvesen, Marian Friedl). Since 2013, Hanousek has been running his own project combining jazz and contemporary music Dust in the Groove. From 2021, he organizes the 30-60-member PMP Orchestra for the Prague Music Performance
festival. PMPO performed the compositions of Anthony Braxton and Roscoe Mitchell in concert in the presence of the authors. In 2023, the PMPO gave the world premiere of Braxton's opera Trillium X and performed at the Darmstadt New Music Festival. As an improviser, in addition to leading representatives of the Czech scene, he also collaborates with many artists from Switzerland, the US, Norway, Germany, Portugal, France, Austria and Italy (Roland Dahinden, Didrik Ingvaldsen, Hildegard Kleeb, Ayako Kato, Claudia Cervenca, Samuel Dühsler, Yoram Rosilio, Michael Fischer, Iva Bittová, Dag Magnus Narvesen, Rieko Okuda, Tobias Delius, George Cremaschi, Hernâni Faustino, ...). Occasionally Hanousek performs with the Vienna Improvisers Orchestra. He co-organizes FreeForms - the international meeting of improvisers. He composed music for a number of ensembles (Faun Ensemble, Dust in the Groove, Mikroopery, Lichtzwang, Contriology, Radost Ensemble, NOCZ, Corazon Quartet), music for theater performances (Mikro-Teatro, Feste, D'epog, Orbita) and audiobooks (Albatros).
