Lychee Lassi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lychee Lassi is a Berlin jazz band. It currently consists of DJ Illvibe , Dirk Berger (g), Beat Halberschmidt (b) and Roland "Roy" Knauf (dr). Until 2005 "Based" alias Sebastian Krajewski (from Seeed ) played drums.

Lychee Lassi was founded in 1998 and musically moves on the edge of classical jazz. They work and experiment with elements of electronic music as well as hip-hop and thus embody for many the current sound of the Berlin music underground. At the German Jazz Meeting 2006 they were among the twelve combos invited by an expert jury.


In 2018, Lychee Lassi played the opening concert at the xjazz festival to mark the anniversary of the founding 20 years ago, after a nine-year break .
