JEAN-LUC PAPPI TRIO FT VINCENT MARDENS
TRIBUTE TO DUKE ELLINGTON Jean-luc Pappi (piano), Vincent Mardens (sax), Chris Mentens (bass), Thierry Gutmann (drums) “Jazz is all music”, a well-known phrase of Duke Ellington, full of truth and meaning, which illustrates to what extent he understood the richness of the mixture of cultures (blues, gospel, Latin, jungle, classical music), which can be found in his music and which will open up the many paths of modernity after him. He was an innovator who did not hesitate to write jazz suites for big band with an orchestration worthy of Maurice Ravel ! And when you listen to him at the piano, you can hear his orchestration work in search of new sounds. We have chosen to play for you the great known and less known standards, which are the most representative of his sense of swing, (It Dont Mean a Thing, Take The “A” Train…) and of the sensuality of his ballads, (Sophisticated Lady, Prelude to a kiss…) which remain essential for all jazz musicians. TICKET: 18€ Members – No Members 20€
LAURENT DOUMONT – L’AMERICANO
ITALIAN STANDARDS IN THE SOUL JAZZ IDIOM Laurent Doumont (vocals, sax), Lorenzo Di Maio (guitar), Vincent Bruyninckx (keyboards), Jacques Pili (bass), Adrien Verderame (drums) Laurent Doumont has been taking his grooves out to clubs and festivals on the streets of Brussels and abroad for more than 20 years, trying to bring color to Belgium’s grey. Recently, an introspective quest of his Sicilian descent gave birth to the « Americano » project. Twelve great Italian standards joyfully adapted in the Soul Jazz idiom he cares for. A very personal project indeed. Try to imagine Celentano, Modugno or Paolo Conte covered in the manner of Marvin Gaye, Al Green or Serge Gainsbourg… If you close your eyes, you can almost hear the waves on the beaches of Capri.

This guitar maestro of the gypsy jazz world is surrounded in this brand-new original project by Belgian musicians from the latest generation: Alexandre Tripodi on violin, Renaud Dardenne on guitar and Cédric Raymond on double bass. They perform with great finesse a repertoire of swing, choro and own compositions, full of divergent and surprising soundscapes. Fapy Lafertin, known for his very delicate and expressive interpretations, will also play the unique instrument that is the Portuguese guitar. Lafertin has an amazing guitar technique, while always keeping the melody in mind. He has not turned out to be a prisoner of the past by following Django’s style. On the contrary, he makes Django’s music sound more modern than ever before. VIDEO LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA9wz1wLhv0
