You're reading: De Phazz

German band De Phazz has puzzled many who attempted to define their music.

Their compositions don’t fall under a definition of any style and float around the margins of jazz, reggae and even house.

To label them at least in some way, the fans decode the name “De Phazz” into the “DEstination PHuture jAZZ.”

Formed in 1997, the three-member band performs songs in English and sometimes French.

They are coming to Kyiv with their program “The best of,” so if you have never come across these innovative Germans and want to get your first scoop of what critics call “intellectual music,” this is a good evening.

Tuesday, April 19, 9 p.m., Crystall Hall, 1 Dniprovsky Uzviz St., 288-5069. Tickets: Hr 250-1,400.
