Austrian jazz ensemble Shake Stew celebrate 10 years with landmark double album TEN ONE TWO; a forward-looking odyssey into their world of improvisation, global influences and collective exploration, with third part of the album TEN THREE released later in 2026.

TEN ONE is a perfect example of everything that’s come before, with bandleader Lukas Kranzelbinder’s compositions, the signature doubled bass lines and trance-like brass textures to driving grooves and extended solo passages that alternate with haunting melodic themes. TEN TWO delves into the energy you can find in their live performances, where there’s limitless improvisation and symbiotic collaborative music making, something only possible after playing for so many years together.

TEN ONE TWO captures the full spectrum of the group’s sound in two parts, and is both a culmination and a new beginning, merging the immediacy of live improvisation with the meticulous layering of studio work. “I feel like we’ve only just started,” says bandleader Lukas Kranzelbinder. “This year and the process of TEN has given us a creative boost that feels like we are beginning a completely new chapter.”
