The Austrian instrumental music phenomenon Exploding Pig, featuring renowned trombonist Luis Bonilla (celebrated for his work with Phil Collins and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra), is bringing a fresh breeze to the international music scene.
Their genre-defying album "Jazz Futura", released on November 3, 2023, under the New York label Planet Arts, blends elements of jazz, psychedelic lounge, hip-hop, and lo-fi beats. Drawing inspiration from American pop culture, Exploding Pig crafts an unmistakable sound that merges deep grooves, gritty textures, and an irresistible psychedelic atmosphere. With backgrounds rooted in funk, jazz, and experimental rock, the group’s members fuse their diverse influences into something raw, real, and refreshingly new.
Their growing reputation for genre-bending soundscapes continues to soar — and fans have more to look forward to: Exploding Pig’s new album "Sticky Glove" will be released on October 3rd, promising another bold step into their wild and trippy world.

Ever eager and ambitious to move forward, Multi-Grammy Award Artist, Luis Bonilla continues to set his sights on the next step of creativity. 30 years of experience with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Poncho Sanchez, Lester Bowie, McCoy Tyner, Astrud Gilberto, Marc Anthony, Paquito d’Rivera, Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Alejandro Sanz and Phil Collins has molded him into a distinct artist and entertainer. Luis’ participation on any stage evokes a “contagious exuberance” (Jazzwise magazine) Since moving to Austria in 2018, Mr.Bonilla continues providing for the musical community as the co-owner of International Music Venue, Tubes and as a professor at University of Graz. His Latin Jazz Quintet continues garnering attention in Europe as well as the ubiquitous Exploding Pig.
Luis Bonilla is a distinctly American vision, a gentle craziness that suggests that every one and every sound can co-exist if we just keep on taking in more and more. Luis Bonilla is moving in directions that are expanding our notions of jazz and leading us into startling new realms with “remarkable creativity and versatility” (Newsday).
