Global Music, World, Jazz

JMO are not only the initials of the three musicians Jan Galega Brönnimann, Moussa Cissokho and Omri Hason, but also the three main influences in their music: Jazz – Mandinka – Orient.
The music of JMO – Jan Galega Brönnimann (Switzerland), Moussa Cissokho (Senegal) and Omri Hason (Israel) – revives the art of storytelling. The crystal-clear sound of the kora (a traditional African 22-string harp) meets the sonorous, smoky tones of the bass clarinet and is supported by Omri Hason’s various percussion instruments. The interplay between the three musicians captivates with beautiful melodies and rhythmic elegance – during their unforgettable live concerts, the trio oscillates between magically transcendent moments and rhythmically explosive highs. The result is authentic and contemporary chamber music

The trio transcends the boundaries between traditional and modern sounds from Africa, Europe and the Orient. The repertoire is composed by all three musicians and reflects their diverse influences. The meeting of these three cultures, the choice of instruments and the rich treasure trove of ideas, melodies and rhythms make the music an unforgettable auditory adventure!
