The Swiss Jazz Band Bconnected will perform in Istanbul on the occasion of the Francophonie at Lycée Français Saint Benoît on March 12th and in Izmir for the Izmir European Jazz Festival at the AASSM concert hall (Ahmet Adnan Saygun Sanat Merkezi) on March 13th.

Bconnected was founded in 1994 by Swiss guitarist Eugene Montenero and has, throughout the years, managed to preserve a strong identity with roots in Jazz and an open mind towards the wide world of music.
After 21 years, bconnected remains a perpetually evolving project. The release of the 8th album "Magical Mystery World"(feat. very special guest Billy Cobham and Guillaume Perret) in 2013 confirmed the strong will to move towards new musical horizons. The 8 albums produced within the past of two decade, demonstrate a beautiful regularity. During the same time the band has toured in Asia (China, Thailand and South Corea), played concerts in the Czech Republic, Austria and France and at prestigious Festivals and venues such as the Montreux Jazz Festival, Tabarka Jazz Festival, Willisau Jazz Festival, Dimajazz of Constantine Algeria, Jazz Parade Fribourg, Pattaya Music Festival, Shanghai Grand Theater, Shanghai Jazz Week Festival, International Festival of the Arts Kunming, Dance & Music Festival Bangkok, Hong-Kong International Jazz Festival, JZ Music Festival Shanghai, Beijing Nine Gates Jazz Festival, Backstage Live Jazz Club Hong-Kong and many more.
