ENTANGLED GROUNDS - THE SOUND OF XJAZZ! BERLIN stands as a testament to collaborative synergy, uniting a diverse array of musicians, producers, and studio professionals who joined forces to craft something transcendent. True to its title, the album intricately weaves together the ideas, aspirations, and foundational elements of each artist, culminating in a collective embodiment of jazz music's essence. This emphasis on collaboration and collective creation resonates deeply with the ethos of the XJAZZ! manifesto – serving as a platform for dialogue and exchange. “With XJAZZ!, we want to be much more than "just"a festival. We try to provide a platform for the entire scene, which goes far beyond just concerts for us. We generally try to keep the doors open, rather than closing them."
