The Avant-Groove is a term I coined to name our special music, which is specifically not what we would market or name as jazz, world music, avant-garde, etc.

Coincidentally, we both three musicians since our childhoods, have grown up playing traditional music from our homelands, Mateusz from Poland and its own special polish folk music, Ramón from Alicante with flamenco and eventually leading to indian music tabla (which he taught for years at the Paris Conservatoire) and me from Ibiza, an island treasuring a millenary mysterious dance and music, with my castanets; all of those, with a very heavy groovy foundation which is engraved in our blood.

But my question was: what comes after the “groove”? Is there anything beyond/after that? Regarding the way we play, we like to groove hard but also break up the groove when necessary and get into space-like moments as we advocate to the avant-garde, however we are aware of the rule and the meaning of rhythm to the human body in a musical setting. Then coining the term was very easy: the “Avant-Groove”.
