Tomas Lukac Group /SK, GER, AT, CN/ (music of Kurt Cobain)

Kurt Cobain + Nirvana + Jazz = ?

Slovak guitarist Tomas Lukac presents a new unique project that blends the best of two opposite worlds of jazz and rock music. He extends notoriously known songs by the legendary rock band Nirvana with new musical elements and transforms them into a form never heard before. Intimate atmosphere of jazz ballads, hip-hop beats, rock solos, and the best jazz has to offer – improvisation. This all delivers a special musical experience to fans of any music genre.

Part of this brand new project has been released in December of 2019 as an EP ‘You Know You’re Right’. In 2020, Tomas has been touring extensively around Europe with his international band featuring Andre Schwager (DE) – piano, Markus Oberleitner (AT) – bass, Zhitong Xu (CN) – drums.
