Victor Carrascosa and Eliott Knuets Group

born in the city of Basel (Switzerland) in 2023,

formed by two of the most promising young

musicians on the European Jazz scene. Eliott Knuets,

a guitarist who at the age of 20 already possesses a

unique voice and an absolutely new and innovative

language, and Víctor Carrascosa, a 21-year-old

trumpet player from Barcelona with a warm,

elegant and modern sound, will come together in

April 2025 for a tour of 14 concerts in Belgium and a

second tour in May in Spain.

The music they will present in this series of concerts

stems from the musical communion that the two

young people will experience at the Jazz Campus in

Basel in 2023 and 2024. Music rooted in the jazz

tradition, both having studied the great pioneers of

this genre (Charlie Parker, Miles, John Coltrane) from

a very early age. However, in addition to this look

into the past of their tradition, which has given them

a deep musical understanding, the sound they seek

and pursue incessantly in their compositions

incorporates the colours and textures of the music

of the present, of today's Jazz.

They will be accompanied by three of the best

musicians on the Spanish scene: Xavi Torres on

piano, Andreu Pitarch on drums and Joan Codina on

double bass.

‘At no time is there an end. There are always new

sounds to imagine, new feelings to convey. And

always, there is the need to keep those feelings and

sounds as refined as possible, so that we can really

see what we have discovered in its pure state, see

what we really are and be able to transmit it’ John

Coltrane
