So Where To Today?

Yamirah’s Solar Explorers is a Berlin-based trio bringing a fresh, forward-thinking voice to the modern jazz and indie jazz scene. While their style nods to the soulful organ trios of the past, like Jimmy Smith, they’re equally shaped by the groove-driven, experimental pulse found in artists like Yussef Dayes. What truly sets them apart is their distinctive lineup: Sacha, the keyboardist, plays the basslines entirely with the left hand on keys — meaning no bassist is needed, yet the sound remains full, deep, and resonant.Yamirah’s expressive, reverb-soaked guitar often takes the melodic lead, weaving lyrical lines over the band’s rich harmonic textures. Sacha’s keys bring a mix of classic organ warmth and shimmering piano details, adding depth and atmosphere. Ria’s dynamic drumming drives the energy, often playing with rhythmic twists like stop-time hits that open up the space and keep the groove fresh and surprising.
