Jooklo Duo
Jooklo Duo is an Italian free jazz duo formed in 2004 by saxophonist Virginia Genta and drummer and percussionist David Vanzan. The pair play raw, loud improvised music rooted in the free jazz of the 1960s, and they have become known through constant touring and many small-run records, often extended into larger Jooklo groups with guests. Virginia Genta and David Vanzan first played together around 2003 in a noise-rock band, Zurich against Zurich. Besides tenor saxophone, Genta plays flutes and melodica, and Vanzan also plays mallets and flute. They run their own label, Troglosound.
