FRIDAY 26.05

Leon Phal

18:00 - 19:00

N∆BOU

19:30 - 20:45

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.

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.

Brussels Jazz Orchestra With Camille Bertault

21:30 - 22:45

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.

Echoes Of Zoo

Jazz rock for psych heads, global sounds for jazz minds, or the steaming soundtrack to a midnight desert rave? For sure, Echoes of Zoo fuse influences from all over the musical earth into countless electrifying grooves.

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.
