The Plan

Electric guitar, double bass, drums and soprano saxophone are nicely meeting in the Asura quartet. Deeply inspired by nature and large landscapes, the ASURA quartet is an ode to time, an invitation to contemplation, a deeply emotions search. The band extols a sensitive music, pacified, turbulent, smooth and coarse at the same time. Fixed into the new wave of Jazz, Asura purposes a post-bop, free and progressive rock subtile mix, never losing his plot : improvisation in the service of the present moment. 

Rewards

Winner of the 11th edition of the Action Jazz contest, Asura won 1st board's prize at the end of their live performance on the Rocher de Palmer stage. They afterwards had the opportunity to figure among the different finalists of the Rezzo Contest at Jazz à Vienne 2024.
