a show by KLUB ROYAL:
– SHAKE STEW –
Since its foundation in 2016, Shake Stew has developed from an insider tip into one of the most influential formations on the European jazz scene. Die ZEIT called them “Austria’s jazz band of the hour”, NDR elevated them to “cult band” early on, and their international status was finally confirmed with the Amadeus Austrian Music Award 2023 and the German Jazz Award 2021. …
Whether in a packed club, a sold-out Vienna Konzerthaus or the Elbphilharmonie – Shake Stew’s hypnotic mix of driving rhythms and trance-like soundscapes unleash an energy that took them to the world’s most important festival stages early on. ORF even dedicated a documentary to the band in 2024 entitled “Shake Stew – Jazz for everyone!”, which traces their extraordinary path and also highlights their collaboration with saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings.
2026 now marks their 10th anniversary. And it wouldn’t be Shake Stew if they didn’t celebrate this occasion with a musical spectacle – the three-part album project TEN ONE TWO THREE. The first two parts with exclusively new music will be released in spring, the third will follow in the fall. The band is also opening a new chapter in its anniversary year in terms of personnel: Yvonne Moriel, one of the most exciting newcomers on the scene, joins the band and gives Shake Stew a fresh sound.
After ten years, countless concerts from Europe to overseas and seven albums, one thing is clear: Shake Stew has long been more than just a jazz band – they are an event. And they show no signs of slowing down.
