The Berlin quartet, which was awarded the German Jazz Prize as "Band of the Year" in 2021, moves beyond clichés. It is not about deconstruction or irony, but about the immediate experience of sound and interaction.
Lord Of The Amazing Panther - The groove attack from behind: This band sneaks up on you, silently and inconspicuously - until they jump out of hiding with a mighty leap and give you all a beat-filled blow with their paws on your ears! Lord Of The Amazing Panther are a real insider tip supergroup from Berlin (or maybe not so secret anymore?), a formation that takes groove to a new level. Their music is unpredictable, uncompromising and full of energy - a sound that grabs you and doesn't let go. Just like a panther.
But given the line-up, this is hardly surprising, as every member of this band is a master of their craft: the bassist tours with Marsimoto and Marteria, the DJ works for Seeed, Peter Fox and Dendemann, the guitarist is known through The Krauts, and the drummer has played with the Moses Yoofee Trio, Casper, Drangsal and Schmyt, among others. Led by DJ Illvibe, who lives out his very own musical vision here, the band combines precision with a love of experimentation, beats with improvisation - always with an infallible feeling for the perfect sound.
The panther jumps far and unpredictably, its claws reach from hip-hop to jazz to funk. Lord Of The Amazing Panther are a groove phenomenon - raw, electrifying and unique. Anyone who has rhythm in their blood now has a must-see date in their calendar for May 22, 2025.
