This quintet grew out of a long-standing musical partnership between pianist Pascal Mohy and saxophonist Ben Sluijs. Their improvised dialogue, shaped by years of working together as a duo and a shared artistic sensibility, naturally led them to expand the project. They are now joined by some of the leading figures in Belgian jazz: Jean-Paul Esti\u00e9venart on trumpet, Antoine Pierre on drums and Lennart Heyndels on double bass.
\nThe uniqueness of the project lies in the balance between composition and freedom. Their music is modern, lyrical and organic jazz, deeply rooted in tradition whilst leaving ample room for spontaneity and collective improvisation.
\nBen Sluijs\u2019s ethereal melodic lines and Pascal Mohy\u2019s delicate touch, combined with Jean-Paul Esti\u00e9venart\u2019s incandescent playing, Antoine Pierre\u2019s inventive and exuberant drumming, and Lennart Heyndels\u2019s deeply organic double bass, create music that is at once intense, fluid and meditative. Each member of the quintet plays a full part in the musical narrative, through constant listening and a particularly lively collective performance.
\nThe audience will discover sincere and generous music, alternating between moments of bubbling energy and more suspended, introspective passages. The quintet favours a sensitive approach to sound and space, where emotion, spontaneity and the depth of musical dialogue take centre stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
