Petra Onderuf Quartet (SI, SK)
Slovak jazz violinist and composer Petra Onderuf connects musical traditions in unusual ways, expanding jazz paradigms with rhythmic and melodic elements from world music. Rooted in jazz harmonies and improvisation, her eclectic violin style bridges classical and jazz, creating compositions that both enchant and energize listeners with their earthy rhythms and soaring textures. Her latest album”An Odd Time of Day” showcases her own compositions, blending asymmetrical rhythms and folk nuances from around the world. Featuring collaborations with Slovenian well-known musicians Rok Zalokar (piano), Luka Dobnikar (double bass), Aleš Zorec (drums), and guest artists Jure Pukl (soprano sax) and Gašper Selko (trumpet), the album highlights her dynamic approach to contemporary jazz and ethno-jazz fusion.
"Petra Onderuf and her quartet present all her original compositions, in their raw, organic, melody-driven beauty. This music is art." – Dee Dee McNeil, Making a Scene

Slovaška jazz violinistka in skladateljica Petra Onderuf na nenavadne načine povezuje glasbene tradicije ter širi jazzovske paradigme z ritmičnimi in melodičnimi elementi svetovne glasbe. Njena eklektična violinska igra, zasidrana v jazz harmonijah in improvizaciji, premošča klasično in jazzovsko glasbo ter ustvarja kompozicije, ki poslušalce začarajo in napolnijo z energijo s svojo zemeljsko ritmiko in vznesenimi teksturami.
Njen najnovejši album "An Odd Time of Day" predstavlja avtorske skladbe, ki združujejo asimetrične ritme in folklorne odtenke iz različnih koncev sveta. Na albumu sodelujejo priznani slovenski glasbeniki: Rok Zalokar (klavir), Luka Dobnikar (kontrabas), Aleš Zorec (bobni) ter gostujoča umetnika Jure Pukl (sopran saksofon) in Gašper Selko (trobenta). Album poudarja njen dinamičen pristop k sodobnemu jazzu in fuziji z etno glasbo.
"Petra Onderuf in njen kvartet predstavijo vse njene avtorske skladbe v surovi, organski, na melodiji temelječi lepoti. Ta glasba je umetnost."
