Noé Tavelli & The Argonauts

Noé Tavelli & The Argonauts is a quintet that brings together some of the most promising young European jazz musicians. Their music, which is collectively shaped and written is fed by the influence and dynamism of the New York Jazz scene as all five band’s members have spent substantial amount of time in the Big Apple. The band offers a smart and ambitious blend of traditional and modern jazz combining both complex form and freedom.
In May 2019, the band released its debut album Noé Tavelli & The Argonauts Collective, on the German based label Double Moon Records / Jazzthing as part of their Next Generation series (Vol.78). It has received a revelation award from Jazz Magazine (France) and has been reviewed by the Swiss music journalist Fredi Hallauer as “Surely some of the best in jazz at the moment”.

"Whether vibing 52nd St or the church basement, there’s a little something from most of the last 60 years to give everyone a taste. Fun stuff for the hipster that wants to act like an old timer---and then some."
