Fresh Since 2023
The Funky 4 Valentines
A get-together of four experienced musicians merging four different musical backgrounds, interpreting hits from Pop and Jazz by implementing modern fusion sounds.
About Us
Frank’s saxes, moving from soft to aggressive, from sweet to screaming within the unique harmonic spaces created by Adrian’s keys. Both of which are inspired by and grounded in Felix’s drum grooves. Never too much and always what you need. Challenged and, at the same time, encouraged by Luca’s bass sounds, amalgamating rhythm, harmony and emotion into the singularity of authentic musical experience.
