The Next Movement (CH)
With more than 1,500 shows behind them and appearances at festivals and venues such as Leverkusener Jazztage, Black Sea Jazz Festival and Jazztage Dresden, as well as clubs like Blue Note in Milan and Porgy & Bess in Vienna, The Next Movement have built a reputation for delivering consistently powerful live performances. Their blend of funk, neo-soul and R&B is precise yet loose, tight yet unforced — carried by groove, clarity and a strong collective voice. It has earned them a place among Europe’s most talked-about acts in the genre.
In 2026, the band moves forward with their fourth album and an extensive tour set to be their most ambitious to date. The new material leans into a more expansive and forward-looking take on funk, while staying rooted in what defines them: a deep pocket, a strong sense of interplay, and a natural, unpretentious energy on stage.
On stage:
J.J. Flueck – drums, samples, vocals
Pascal “P” Kaeser – bass, synth, backing vocals
Sam Siegenthaler – guitar, backing vocals
