Tariška/Hodek Modal Trap ft. Benito Gonzalez (SK/USA)

Radovan Tariška, Dávid Hodek, Áron Hodek and Benito Gonzalez form a distinctive ensemble on the contemporary European jazz scene, guaranteeing a musical experience of the highest international standard. The band’s musical language is rooted in an organic fusion of modern jazz, fusion and modal thinking, naturally expanded by elements of hip-hop and contemporary trap. A strong emphasis on groove, rhythmic continuity, beat-driven structures and collective interaction plays a central role, shaping a cohesive and distinctly modern sound firmly grounded in today’s musical landscape.

A defining feature of the ensemble is its work with open forms, extended modal passages and carefully shaped dynamic tension, which create space for free yet structurally anchored improvisation. Traditional jazz vocabulary seamlessly intertwines with the aesthetics of contemporary urban music, a groove-oriented approach and modern rhythmic articulation. The group connects a strong European jazz tradition with the American jazz idiom, represented by the keyboard work of two-time Grammy nominee Benito Gonzalez. The result is an energetic, stylistically open and authentically contemporary sound that appeals both to discerning jazz audiences and to listeners drawn to modern forms of groove-based, hip-hop- and trap-inspired jazz.
