“The musicians of chuffDRONE aren’t really fans of the idea of following musical dogmas. They don’t feel bound to the traditional rules of jazz, preferring instead to set their own musical accents. The reckless improvisations, unconventional solos, varied arrangements, groovy rhythms are all playfully brought together and woven into a brand new whole. A sound of jazz combined with elements from other styles but avoids being over thought or unnecessarily complex while still being musically challenging.” music austria

It bubbles and swirls. It rumbles. It reverberates. In their compositions chuffDRONE produce a kind of music which clearly represents the distinct personalities of the five musicians. They come from different musical backgrounds and styles, which have markedly contributed to their diverse approaches to jazz. In both their individual and their collective improvisations they keep inspiring and stimulating each other’s creativity, elaborating familiar structures and exploring new paths. Multifaceted. Unconventional. Bursting with energy.
