Other projects of Kaja Draksler
The Kaja Draksler Acropolis Quartet and Acropolis Quintet are just two of the many ensembles and projects in which the young pianist has played an integral role. In 2007 Kaja Draksler released her first CD with her group Katarchestra, an international collaboration focused on reinterpreting Slovene folk motives into contemporary musical forms. Among the many projects in which she has been involved, her collaboration with the international European Movement Jazz Orchestra as composer and piano player stands out. In 2010 they released an album for one of the most exciting European jazz labels, Clean Feed.
Most recently she has founded BadBooshBand, a trio with Draksler on piano, Mattia Magatelli on bass, and Luca Marini on drums. BadBooshBand explores more adventurous currents of contemporary jazz, delving into improvisation as well as composition.
