The band started with improvising musicians who came together for sessions and eventually expanded to include talented individuals from different styles and genres. With an innovative approach to jazz influenced by hip-hop, EABS blends elements of soul, funk, hip-hop, and electro while exploring and experimenting with composition. Their goal is to breathe new life into jazz and bring back its former glory.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kraksa-svantetic-featuring-tenderlonious","title":"Kraksa \/ Svantetic featuring Tenderlonious","description":"\u003cp\u003e22a presents a collaborative project with the Polish jazz septet EABS and featuring Tenderlonious on flute and soprano saxophone. Strictly limited to 1000 copies worldwide, this 12\" of deep jazz is housed in colour sleeve and includes an insert containing sleeve notes and photos. The Electro Acoustic Beat Sessions collective (EABS) are without doubt the most accomplished jazz group in the world right now. They have a unique and innovative approach to music, fusing elements of Polish and classic jazz with hip hop, funk and folk. Their debut album \u003ci\u003eRepetitions (Letters to Krzysztof Komeda)\u003c\/i\u003e is a dedication to Polish Jazz legend Krzysztof Komeda that focusses on compositions by Komeda between 1962 and 1967. The album explores Komeda's lesser-known compositions featured in ballet etudes, movies, short films, documentaries and animations. Kraksa \/ Svantetic is the final part of a dedication to Krzysztof Komeda, recorded straight to tape at Radio Opole in Poland. Polish jazz has had a big influence on 22a and Tenderlonious and working with EABS became a priority after hearing their album. Tenderlonious was therefore delighted to accept their invitation to go out to Poland to perform with them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"22a","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50465271349579,"sku":"1048783","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ed62a753-5101-4886-a9de-2613f6edb121_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727284552"},{"product_id":"slavic-spirits","title":"Slavic Spirits","description":"\u003cp\u003ePolish septet EABS apply an innovative approach to jazz, distilling it through the prism of hip-hop, blending it with elements of soul, funk and electronic music. \u003ci\u003eSlavic Spirits\u003c\/i\u003e was 2 years in the making and contains 100% original material.
