Join us for November evening filled with the vibrant sounds of top Polish jazz. The star of the night is EABS (Electro-Acoustic Beat Session), a jazz-electronic fusion band that will take you on a mesmerizing musical journey. The musicians gained European recognition with their very first album, “Repetitions – Letters to Krzysztof Komeda”, back in 2017. And their project from last year, “EABS Meet Jaubi – In Search of a Better Tomorrow”, received worldwide acclaim.

Opening the show is the up-and-coming band, Product May Contain, winners of the Grand Prix at the “Jazz Individuality” competition during prestigious Poland’s “Jazz nad Odrą” festival (April 2023). 

It will be fantastic to have them together on the stage at Flagey!

EABS, short for Electro-Acoustic Beat Session, is a phenomenon. Hailing from Wroclaw, their unique sound emerges from blending Polish jazz with contemporary urban music genres. In recent months, EABS has embarked on tour alongside the band Jaubi. However, for their first concert in Belgium, the Polish artists return to the stage without the Pakistani quartet, showcasing their latest album titled 2061 (Astigmatic Records, 2022).

Taking its name from the year of Halley’s comet return, 2061 orbits through a constellation of genres including jazz, electronica, and hip hop. With audacious creativity, EABS melds trap and drill elements into their compositions. This cosmic creation not only makes a bold musical statement but also serves as a political manifesto, while embodying EABS’s philosophy of ‘reconstruction from deconstruction’.

Product May Contain is a trio of young musicians whose main goal is to create spaces – both intimate and expansive. In their music, you can find influences from jazz, folk, and ambient music, all working in symbiosis with the enchanting sounds of the vibraphone, double bass, and ethnic percussion instruments (potentially including potted plants). From this mosaic emerges an original and personal narrative about finding beauty amidst the ambiguities of turbulent times.
