Daoud

Show & Culture

The problem child of jazz, daoud refuses to play by jazz’s rules. His work is charged with a persistent tension: between playfulness and gravity, chaos and tenderness, irony and sincerity. With OK, released by ACT in 2025, he delivers a personal manifesto shaped by collapse and repetition – but also by the perseverance required to begin again. On stage, daoud and his band bend the rules with a mix of restrained lyricism and explosive force. Since the release of GOOD BOY in 2024, praised by critics, they’ve played a string of sold-out shows, from Ronnie Scott’s in London to the Montreux Jazz Festival.
