SPICE’N’SPACE EPK

Spice'n'Space band is an Israel - based Jazz - Funk group led by flutist Mattan Klein and drummer Uria Mader.

The band was founded after an accidental meeting of the two at a Tel Aviv club where they decided to create a new group which will combine their mutual interests in Jazz, Fusion and Funk.

The band’s musical style can be described as an amalgamation of old-school funk of The J.B’s and late 60’s recordings by Lou Donaldson and Grant Green, with the sophisticated harmonies of Herbie Hancock all fused with the modern groovy sounds of Vulfpeck.

This blend of multiple influences creates a delicate balance between the old and the new, the simple and the sophisticated, which is a major part of the band’s musical vision.

Spice’n’Space are headlining the Tel Aviv International Flute Festival, and the Klaipeda International Jazz Festival in Lithuania during June, 2023.

Spice’n’Space band members performed on stages such as : London Jazz Festival, Red Sea Jazz Festival, Albania International Jazz Festival, Red Sea Guitar Festival and many more…
