Duo Smolnik/Gönitzer is a jazz project with a minimalist lineup that leaves room for the spaces in between. Reduced to the essentials—rhythm and melody—an intense musical dialogue unfolds between singer Anja Smolnik and bassist Jakob Gönitzer.

With voice and double bass, the duo explores the boundaries and complexity of both instruments. Original compositions and selected favorite songs grow organically and are allowed to unfold freely. An essential component of their music is improvisation in all its facets—open, playful, and surprising. Words and thoughts come to life through music. The result is a subtle encounter between two musical worlds that merge into a shared, vibrant conversation.
