Jooklo Duo

Jooklo Duo have been moving consciously and organically from their “classic” duo roots, to more psychedelic, ethnic, and droney atmospheres (like in their expanded groups Neokarma Jooklo Trio, Golden Jooklo Age, etc.) and to totally wild and abstract free music (such as their recent trio work with guitarist Bill Nace).

The duo has mixed its sound with that of artists as Hartmut Geerken, Famodou Don Moye (Art Ensemble of Chicago), Makoto Kawabata, Sabu Toyozumi, Takehisa Kosugi (Taj Mahal Travellers), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Chris Corsano, Paul Flaherty, C. Spencer Yeh, John Blum (...and many others!). The pair has also been working with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, performing for “Nearly Ninety” in Madrid (April 2009, Teatro del Canal), and in London (October 2010 at the Barbican Centre).

“It is like the roaring energy of punk meeting the possibilities of improve or like watching someone microwave jazz until it explodes all over the window in a yellow paste.” - Was Ist Das
