BABKAS adapt 20th century classical forms and harmonic language to a group dynamic that showcases their interest in traditional musics (Balkan, Arabic/middle Eastern, klezmer, and African) and their experience playing many kinds of jazz (free, bop, funk, jazz-rock). The tunes are often complex, but the process of refinement involves bringing out their emotional depth as well as wit.
