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 (also performed) over 500 international shows in tens of tours in the Netherlands, Turkey, China, USA, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czechia, Poland, Denmark, Slovenia, Italy, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia, Macedonia, Romania, Spain, France, Israel, Switzerland, Croatia, Faroe Islands.
In 2020, I started 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.
