FI:LDS is a project led by Swiss Drummer / Composer Sebastien Delacombaz. This quintet made up of Alto and Tenor Saxophone, Double Bass, Piano and Drums, offer a fresh take on a classic Jazz instrumentation, that transcends stylistic boundaries.
Intricate melodies, challenging rhythmic and harmonic structures are at the centre of the music, and serve as a platform for far reaching improvisations. This ensemble draws inspiration from a wide array musical horizons including Jazz, contemporary classical music, progressive metal, and effortlessly creates a dynamic sonic landscape that blurs the line between composition and improvisation.
Alongside the band-leader, this ensemble features some up and coming talents of the Amsterdam Jazz scene : Marios Charalampous on Tenor Saxophone, Micheal Murray on Alto Saxophone, Joy Shecter on Piano and Aniol Torrents on Double Bass. FI:LDS recently performed on the stage of the Bimhuis in Amsterdam, and will record their debut album in the beginning of 2025.
