Brooklyn-based, Slovenian saxophonist IGOR LUMPERT was commissioned a few years ago to create a piece for the closing of the European Capital of Culture. Collaborating with multimedia artist Željka Blaksic, he developed Resistance of the Earth, a genre-blending multimedia work that combines live music with performance, 16mm film, and video art. Thematically, the project explores natural disasters—earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and tornadoes—through an artistic lens. Tonight, he presents the music of Resistance of the Earth as adapted for a quartet.

Igor has taught master classes and improvisation workshops throughout Europe and the United States. He appears regularly at jazz festivals worldwide and has released five albums as a leader of his own group: I Am The Spirit of The Earth (2023), Eleven (2018), Innertextures Live (2012), Mineral Mind (2010), and Innertextures (2004). The most recent three albums received critical praise for their “elusive lightness” and “original funk brilliance.”

"A relaxed and almost offhand delivery of cleverly calculated themes and sophisticated improvisations with ingenuous enthusiasm." — NYC Jazz Record

“Lumpert knits all the pieces together with ecstatic vision, and the result is an organic work that makes every risk feel right and necessary.” — Filipe Freitas, Jazz Trail

“Great band.” — Yoko Ono
