Spice'n'Space is a jazz funk band, led by flautist Mattan Klein and drummer Uria Mader.
The band's musical style is inspired by early jazz-funk pioneers such as Lou Donaldson and Grant Green, although their sound is more labiaurist in nature, with strong ties to soul and funk music from New Orleans and Memphis. And, of course, it's all spiced up with a Middle Eastern flavour.
The band released their debut album in August 2023 on the London-based Ubuntu Music label and have since toured across Europe, performing at events such as Sibiu Jazz Festival 2023 (Romania), Blue Note Dresden (Germany), Alexanderplatz Jazz Club in Rome (Italy) and others, including the 2023 Lithuanian Castle Jazz Festival in Klaipėda.
The concert will feature early works from the band's debut album, as well as new works to be released on the forthcoming album.
