LIVE by DEADEYE

Three of Europe’s most forward thinking jazz musicians (Reinier Baas, Kit Downes & Jonas Burgwinkel) join forces with Deadeye. Deadeye uses the tried and tested formula of Hammond organ, drums and guitar to shed new light on the wildly diverse influences of its members. The result is a wide musical scope, in which Jazzrock, traditional British folk music and 20th-century Classical music are unified. Although all three of its members share a love for improvisation and the unexpected, they each bring something deeply personal to the table: ethereal textures, undulating yet highly danceable rhythms and angular melodies. Following the release of their highly anticipated debut album (2022), the three band members played several shows, including a performance at the Cologne Jazzweek. This show ultimately resulted in Deadeye's newest
release, "LIVE".

Deadeye on the recording of LIVE: “This show in a packed basement in Cologne was one of our most intense live experiences to date. The buzzing crowd, electrified atmosphere and feeling of connectedness in the room allowed this night to be what we always hope for when playing live: ‘a collective spiritual act’*
