About Me

 Hi! I'm Esat Ekincioglu - a Dutch/Turkish bassist, composer, improviser - based in Groningen, the Netherlands.

 I work as a booker/manager/tour manager for the projects I perform with since 2010. 

I’ve booked and managed over 500 international shows in tens of tours in Netherlands, Turkey, China, USA, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czechia, Poland, Denmark, Slovenia, Italy, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia, Romania, Spain, France, Israel, Switzerland, Croatia, Faroe Islands. 

In 2020, I started my own booking/management agency: 

CHILLI CHILLI AGENCY - 🌶 for spicy music 🌶

I focus on 'fringes of jazz': avantgarde, improvised music, psychedelia, noise, ethnojazz, punkjazz, tribal music. 

Besides the successful bands AVA Trio and KUHN FU I manage for over 10 years, I'm carefully expanding my roster with exciting acts from across Europe.
