BIO
Spice’n’Space is a funk band taking fun to the next level.
With a strong scent of old school jazz and funk from the 60s, catchy melodies, infectious rhythms and a great sense of humor , they successfully do so every time they hit the stage.
Back in 2021, at the end of the pandemic, an accidental meeting between flutist Mattan Klein and drummer Uria Mader started the idea to form the band.
Since then, they released their debut album through the London based “Ubuntu” music label which helped them spread good vibes all over the world, from Klaipeda Jazz Festival (Lithuania), Blue Note Dresden (Germany) and Tel Aviv International Flute Festival (Israel).
Open The Windows - Spice’n’Space
With its current configuration, the band is built upon the Organ trio tradition:
Uria Mader is on the drums, highly influenced by the early works of both James Brown and the Meters, providing the bandstand with his raw and old school style.
On the other hand there is flutist Mattan Klein, with his dynamic and tasteful way of playing he successfully leads the band from catchy and groovy tunes to the more complex and lyrical melodies.
Organist Yonatan Riklis is the third leg of the trio. a deep scholar of the hammond organ and a true jazz and soul jazz musician, seeking his influences from Organists such as Wild Bill Davis and Jimmy Smith.
