Tin Men and the Telephone

• Other

They let their concerts be controlled by app and dub political speeches, tennis matches or animal sounds with music: the group Tin Men and the Telephone combines technology, humour and great jazz. In their programme »It’s About Time«, the trio composes playfully and, using cinematic tricks, the rules of time don’t apply – freeze, fast-forward and rewind the moment in music and video or switch on the time lapse? No problem!

Tin Men and the Telephone formed in Amsterdam and work meticulously there on ever new concepts for their concerts. They expertly combine their brilliant improvisation skills with influences from hip-hop, pop, jazz and the daily madness of the Internet. With their innovative multimedia shows, they perform worldwide at the biggest jazz festivals, such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, the London Jazz Festival and jazzahead!
