Common Ground | JazzPodium Amersfoort

Three generations of jazz musicians from different parts of Europe find "Common Ground" in swing and groove.

Common Ground is an extraordinary jazz quartet that combines authenticity with a dynamic sound rarely found in Europe. The group is the brainchild of guitarist and composer Enrico Le Noci, who has created a remarkable composition with legendary drummer Eric Ineke, saxophonist Pietro Mirabassi, and organist Bob Wijnen. Together they create a vibrant jazz experience that captures the essence of the genre's rich history, while simultaneously pushing its boundaries.

Eric Ineke is a master drummer whose decades-long career includes performances with jazz icons such as Dexter Gordon, Hank Mobley, Johnny Griffin, and George Coleman. His expertise provides the rhythmic foundation for Common Ground, providing a solid foundation that enhances the group's innovative sound. Thanks to Ineke's influence, the quartet imbues their music with a depth and swing that appeals to traditional jazz lovers and modern listeners alike.

The musicians of Common Ground find their "common ground" in the jazz tradition, drawing inspiration from greats such as Wes Montgomery and Wayne Shorter. Their music is a testament to their shared passion for jazz, fusing intricate rhythms and soulful melodies into a sound that is both timeless and innovative. This unique combination of talent and vision makes Common Ground a remarkable ensemble, offering an authentic and soulful jazz experience that enchants audiences across Europe.

Their debut album is a celebration of this musical synergy, demonstrating their ability to balance classical influences with contemporary innovation. Released on Zennez Records, the album is available on all digital platforms, inviting listeners to explore the quartet's dynamic vision of jazz.
