Undisputed reference in Belgian jazz and sought-after sidewoman among the best bands in the country, pianist Nathalie Loriers formed in 2016 a trio with the equally renowned Dutch saxophonist Tineke Postma (Terri Lyne Carrington, Greg Osby…) and the excellent Nic Thys. Refined jazz with strong and swinging melodies, the trio presents their third album "Le temps retrouvé".

As an essential trumpeter of the Belgian scene, Jean-Paul Estiévenart has earned a heck of a reputation. Insatiable and eternal dissatisfied, he never hesitates to question himself. With his new quintet, he recorded a fabulous album, "Strange Bird", praised by all the international press (he also received the Music Octave) which he presents on stage this year. Unmissable!

Friends in life, Pascal Mohy, Sam Gerstmans and Quentin Liégeois never stopped working together on their instruments while listening to the greatest jazz musicians. They have soaked up all of its history. Each month at L’An Vert in Liège, they formalize their jams and organize "Slow session" concerts based on well-chosen standards. This is what they present today.

Saxophonist Ben Sluijs is one of the important figures of jazz in Belgium. We heard him in Octurn, Act Big Band and as a leader alongside Erik Vermeulen, Jereon Van Herzeele, Christian Mendoza and Manolo Cabras, among others. With his new quartet, he has brought together two rising musicians from the Belgian scene: Bram de Looze and Lennart Heyndels, as well as his old accomplice Dré Pallemaerts. Their first album, "Particles", was awarded the 2019 Klara Prize.

The duo was born out of the desire to explore common interests: the music of Ellington, Monk, free improvisation, counterpoint and other sound paintings. Concretized by a first album in 2018, "Prima Scena", Mathieu Robert and Mario Ganau come back to share their new repertoire, always full of soothing music, emotions and poetry.

L’Âme des Poètes, a trio formed in the 1990s, specializes in instrumental interpretation and improvisation of the classics of French song. The collaboration between Jean-Louis Rassinfosse, Pierre Vaiana and Fabien Degryse makes their concerts a unique moment, full of humor and emotion.

After a first record and dozens of concerts as a quintet, pianist Joachim Caffonnette returned to the trio with whom he released, in 2019, a highly noticed album ("Vers l'Azur Noir").

Martin Salemi surprised everyone when he released his first record "Short Stories". With his new trio (Boris Schmidt and Daniel Jonkers) and before the recording of a next album, the pianist offers us intense music with catchy melodies ranging from swing to ballads, while combining the influences of a resolutely jazz modern.

Giuseppe, bass player, and Lionel, drummer, have known each other for over 10 years, and the alchemy that they immediately felt has never wavered since. Their encounter with Amaury, pianist, at a jam session only amplified this dynamic.

Steve Houben, Diederik Wissels et Jan de Haas nous replongent au cœur d’un projet qui avait ravi les oreilles d’amateurs de belles mélodies ciselées et raffinées, il y a plus de trente ans. Le temps a passé et la musique n’a fait que bonifier.
