BRUSSELS JAZZ ORCHESTRA WITH CAMILLE BERTAULT

21:30 - 22:45

The French-Swiss prodigy is a rising star who is well on his way to making an indelible mark on the world of jazz with his delicate saxophone compositions. He already attracted attention at prestigious festivals and with his debut album, the jazz revelation garnered nothing but praise. His new album Dust to Stars is a marvelous example of what we love most about this new jazz scene: a free and dynamic interpretation of music, combined with solid references.

Léon Phal, saxophone - Zacharie Ksyk, trumpet - Gauthier Toux, keyboardsArthur Alard, drums - Rémi Bouyssière, bass

Anyone who has already become acquainted with Nabou Claerhout’s unique and innovative trombone melodies will immediately understand why Flagey had the Young Jazz Talent laureate reside at the Brussels Jazz Festival earlier this year. NΔBOU’s steep rise within the latest Belgian wave of jazz-&-beyond owes the quartet to their strong ensemble playing and international allure.

Nabou Claerhout, trombone / compositions - Roeland Celis, electric guitar / double bass - Trui Amerlinck, contrabasMathias Vercammen, drums

2 BOURSE STACE

19:00 - 19:45

STACE is the solo project of Stacy Claire, an emerging figure of the neo-soul scene. Her songs are at the crossroads of RnB, neo-soul and acoustic aspirations. Her first E.P. Green Onyx is a source of energy, a fetish object and, no doubt, a harbinger of a bright future.

Stace Claire: vocals

Brussels Jazz Orchestra celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and continues to be more productive than ever with new projects. At our festival, BJO, together with French singer Camille Bertault, will pay tribute to Gainsbourg. Original songs by the mythical icon of French music are the basis of new BJO arrangements.

JUNGLE BY NIGHT

22:00 - 23:15

Jungly by Night consists of a lot of synths, drums, bas, guitar and percussion enhanced by a trumpet, sax and trombone. A band that bravely goes where no band has gone before and now find themselves in the goldilocks zone between analogue dance music, funck, Kruatrock, 70’s funk and 80’s electro.

19:45 - 21:00

44 Rave is continuously transforming excitement into the original traditions of Blues, Punk and Disceau since 1999. The legendary Belgian/Dutch quartet brings dirty garage and crazy trance; intense and stormy, raw but also subtly groovy and with a certain melodramatic undertone.

The hottest Dutch Rhythm & Blues sensation ever! Little Steve & the Big Beat are a high-energy Rhythm & Blues outfit; fiery guitar playing and strong vocals on top of a solid rhythm section.

BSFOE

BSFOE plays an electro-acoustic mix of psychedelic spirit-jazz-inspired riff-rock. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, influences like The Comet is Coming and Donny McCaslin might ring a bell. Get carried away by their danceable trance and raw melodies.

ECHOFARMER

CIAO KENNEDY

22:30 - 23:20

What do a theatre teacher, a lawyer, a social worker, a bicycle repairman and a kefir brewer from the Namur region do when they meet in Brussels under the same roof? The answer: electronica post-rock, dancing and uninhibited. All just under 30 years old, these childhood friends honed their style and tamed their instruments in the wake of two groundbreaking EPs.

Born 33 years ago in Brussels, Casimir Liberski is a pianist, composer and improviser who made his marks in NYC for about a decade after graduating from the Berklee College of Music. An insatiable jack-of-all-trades and bulimic heir to his “gods” Monk, Coltrane, Miles Davis, among the many deities of the colossal repertoire of baroque, classical, modern, jazz, and contemporary music, Casimir is also an obsessive tweaker of vintage analog synthesizers.

1992, Fabrizio Cassol, Michel Hatzigeorgiou and Stéphane Galland return home after a stay with the Aka, a Pygmy community. Inspired by their African adventure they found Aka Moon, a band that merges polyrhythmic and polyphonic interplay with jazz and improvisation. Aka Moon soon became a leading band in jazz and European improvisational music. For thirty years Aka Moon has been equal to the pure joy of playing music - constantly reinventing itself, often working together with guest musicians from different cultures - which has resulted in no less than twenty albums.

Wajdi Riahi Trio was formed in Brussels in 2020. The strong bonds between these three young musicians translates to a solid, cohesive dynamic in their playing. Following a proposal from Fresh Sound Records, Wajdi decided to write a new repertory for the trio. The new music is rhythmically, melodically, and harmonically varied, and each song tells a true story from Wajdi’s life, and that honesty comes through in the trio’s playing.

HÉLÈNE DURET SYNESTET

16:45 - 18:00

Brussels Vocal Project is a collective of three singers : Elsa Grégoire, François Vaiana and Anu Junnonen. Together they explore different vocal universes and work with an adapted line-up according to the needs of the chosen repertoire. With its new project ’Modern Tales’, they revisit famous fairy tales. They bring will bring along other musicians, resulting in a surprising sextet of five voices and drums.

Elsa Grégoire, vocals - François Vaiana, vocals - Anu Junnonen, vocals - Sarah Klenes, vocals - Gabriel Hahn, vocalsThéo Lanau - drums

When Franco-Belgian quintet Synestet perform, their music confounds the senses, and manifests as a mélange of colors, smells, shapes, and textures. These five musicians, enamored with improvisation and exhibiting a playful exuberance, color between the lines to form a cohesive, improvised soundscape. This new juncture in the group’s trajectory, initiated by clarinetist Hélène Duret, offers a sonic exploration which extols both the virtues of simplicity and inventiveness, and evokes the spirit of Ornette Coleman, Jimmy Giuffre, Duke Ellington, Jakob Bro, Timber Timbre.

ALEX KOO TRIO

NINO_UNCUT

‘Pills and Water’ is the first solo project by artist nino_uncut aka François Vaiana. From a rave

over a gospel church to a jazz club, this work explores the artist’s vast musical territory in just a few songs. It takes us on a journey through a world of poppy metaphors, references to the 90s and cinematic atmospheres. For the artist, Pills and Water is conceived as a catharsis.

What happens if you blend London’s new jazz scene with the French city of Strasbourgh? Emile Londonien, a personal interpretation of the UK jazz tradition and the traditional French jazz scene. Broken Beat, Jazz, House or Hip Hop : it’s very difficult to put a label ons this « next gen » band of the French jazz scene. They get along very well with Léon Phal,

K.ZIA is a Brussels-born, worldraised, Berlin-based, singer, songwriter and artistic director. Her vibrant music blends up alternative

This Ghent offspring of the youngest generation of Belgian jazz bands is inspired by dub, but is not necessarily indebted to it. With a background in jazz, Kosmo Sound creates an exciting, danceable and eclectic universe with tight grooves, oriental colors and spacy sound effects.

You’d be forgiven for thinking KRANKk comes from England. Their mix of Grimey basslines, Burial-inspired atmospheres and future garage beats sound like they were brewed in a London lock-off. But really, they are from Antwerp - and put a wacky twist on their two-step rhythms with live instrumentation.

3 STE-CATHERINE

16:30 - 17:30

Griots (traditional healing artists) who was born in Bobo Dioulasso (Burkina Faso) and lived in Mali and Ivory Coast. Singer, musician and maker of traditional musical instruments, he is recognized as a Master on the djembe, the dumdum, the tama (talking drum), the longa, the kora, the ngoni and the balafon.

The Latin influences recur throughout their oeuvre, with ethnic and psychedelic sounds. The way the five men bring all the above together and mix it with African and Middle Eastern sounds, is almost hypnotic. Synthesizers and electronic effects spice up Compro Oro’s distinctive musical marriage of vibraphones, electric guitars, jazzfunk rhythms, exotic percussions and dubby bass patterns. “Compro Oro are a mercurial Belgian quintet with a penchant for the vibraphone”. If JazzWise says so, who are we to conradict them?

It makes it possible to share emotions in a very direct way, while allowing the other person to engage their own emotions. With this international group that brings together a Belgian, a French, a Beninese and a Malagasi, he especial-

ly seeks this resonance, this boundless sharing.... The addition of electronics adds an extra level of expressiveness and opens the door to mysterious atmospheres by harmoniously merging with the band’s acoustic sounds.
