Kalaha Feat. Aarhus Jazz Orchestra
Supported by the world-renowned Aarhus Jazz Orchestra, multi-award winning quartet Kalaha present the album Tutku, an energetic fusion of jazz, Turkish psychedelic rock and 80s inspired synth-pop.
Kalaha’s striking and colourful visual identity shares the Middle Eastern influence of their music and enhances the psychedelic nature of their songs, invoking otherworldly imagery in the listeners’ minds and rounding Tutku off as a cohesive, well-thought-out recorded statement.
As a part of his education Simon arranged the big band arrangement for the song “Ince Ince” for this fusion between Kalaha and Aarhus Jazz Orchestra.
Reviews:
“Dynamic, organic and deeply fascinating cross over (…)
The album, Tutku, contains nine sublime songs / pieces of music, which aesthetically / genre-wise can be described as a cross-over between modern fusion jazz, psychedelic (Anatolian) art rock, folk, disco and synth-pop. And so it is a cross over that is dynamic, organic and deeply fascinating. – Ivan Rod, Gaffa
5 out of 6 stars
The Album Tutku was nominated for the danish “Carl Nielsen Award” and the “Danish Music Award”.

Kaleiido Feat. Aarhus Jazz Orchestra
KALEIIDO has established its name on the Danish jazz scene with their atmospheric and calm expression and live concerts with some of Denmark’s leading improvisers.
At SPOT Festival in the symphonic hall, the duo meets with students from the Royal Academy of Music and the frontier-seeking big band Aarhus Jazz Orchestra for a concert experiment where the free interaction is turned into an immersive musical experience with multi-channel surround.
Composed/Arranged by: Simon Buhl in collaboration with Kaleiido.
Reviews (in danish):
“Duoen Kaleiido leverede sammen med Aarhus Jazz Orchestra den ubetinget største oplevelse for mit vedkommende på Spot Festival … Aarhus Jazz Orchestra er modige i deres udforskning af jazzens muligheder og Kaleiido har endnu en gang understreget, hvorfor de er noget helt særligt på den danske musikscene.”- Niels Overgård, Jazznyt
“Koncerten var måske hele SPOT festivalens højdepunkt” – Ole Bisbjerg, Bibzoom.dk
