Moses Yoofee Trio / TOS

DATSKAT

It's becoming a tradition; the DATSKAT WEEKEND in March. We remove the chairs from the hall, transform it into a nightclub (with an epic view of the city) and present the best jazz, hip-hop and neo-soul from home and abroad. With the Moses Yoofee Trio and TOS on Friday 21 March and Nubiyan Twist and PARRA.DICE on Saturday 22 March. You can go wild in our café all weekend with DJ Abiba & DJ Lucas Benjamin. In Berlin, young musicians make jazz flourish with new influences from hip-hop, electronics and afrobeat.

One of the names that stands out is the Moses Yoofee Trio, who were awarded the Deutscher Jazzpreis for best live act last year. The band has already gone viral on YouTube and TikTok with spectacular beats and grooves that sound like a hip-hop DJ remixing jazz records. The new album MYT will be released on Nils Frahm's LEITER label in early 2025. The band consists of pianist and keyboardist Moses Yoofee, bassist Roman Klobe and drummer Noah Fürbringer. Their shared influences are innovative jazz musicians such as Robert Glasper and fellow city dweller Petter Eldh. TOS will open the evening beforehand. The Amsterdam queer artist will bring a mix of neo-soul, r&b, hip-hop and jazz. Inspired by legends such as d'Angelo, Stevie Wonder and Erykah Badu, TOS invites you to dive into his world, in which music is an act of unconditional love and vulnerability.
