Description

Roaring Cats hail from Amsterdam, their repertoire from New Orleans. With simplicity, they explore the music of that era. Roaring Cats is a swing/hot jazz group founded in Amsterdam in 2018 by Sam Ghezzi and Davor Stehlik. Over the years, the group, which began as a quartet, has grown into a small orchestra including a brass section.<br><br> After several concerts in festivals, venues and arrangement sessions, their repertoire has developed into a set of original arrangements of compositions from the 20s and 30s, merging different musical identities and ideas.<br> Their sound reflects the development of music born in New Orleans, a symbol of a blend of sounds from an abundance of cultures.<br><br> Within the limits of a musical language that seems distant in time but close to the most natural and spontaneous artistic expressions, they took up the challenge of giving value and new meaning to the roots of jazz.<br><br> By combining artistic and entertaining content, they offer a unique way of performing that captures the interest of art lovers and jazz connoisseurs, as well as a less experienced audience. Their approach allows them to express musical ideas in the most varied ways possible, taking different paths to explore the beauty of simplicity.
