Available Jelly plays Available Jelly music, how else describe them? You can zoom in on some elements, take their most recent album ‘Bilbao’: sounds from Madagascar, Myanmar, Indonesia, work from Kurt Weill, Hoagy Carmichael, influences from bop, cool and free jazz, Ellington, but with this you still don’t capture their unique charm. ‘The Amsterdam all star group plays solid compositions and in with that improvises in a heartwarming, human way.’ (de Volkskrant).
