First images of BLACKsitter doing their warm up show on 24th March 2019 at Cactushound Bar in St.Leonards on Sea.

Aram Zarikian, responsible for the show and the documentation on this night even managed to source a double bass for Gina Schwarz with just a few hours notice. A full multi-track recording of the concert it currently being revised and mixed, we hope to have various sound bits for you very soon.

26.March Servant Jazz Quarters, London

Jazzexchange Austria is happy to announce the first show of the Jazz exchange programme on 26th March at Servant Jazz Quarters, 10a Bradbury Street, London N16 8JN

Doors open at 7:30

first set at 8pm

second set at 9pm

For our first evening we are very happy to have the Viennese Trio Blacksitter consisting of Gina Schwarz on double bass, Judith Schwarz on drums and Primus Sitter on guitar.

BLACKsitter brings together three strong,articulate voices of Austria’s Jazz scene.
The band represents the broad scope and variety of that lively scene, with each of the members descending from a different ethnic background,
thus developing distinct, individual sounds and compositional styles.
In BLACKsitter, innovation meets and interacts with tradition.
The creative exchange of the three musical concepts and approaches at times challenge each other, yet overall result in an enrichment of each individual style.
