Tribute to Thelonious Monk

Simon Martineau (guitar), Georges Correia (double bass),
Thomas Delor (drums)

Few drummers assume the role of leader and composer. With rare exceptions, the results often sacrifice the fine details of harmonic and melodic development in favor of complex time signatures and tempo changes: the trio of French musician Thomas Delor, accompanied by Simon Martineau on guitar and Georges Correia on bass, radically breaches the rule.

Thomas Delor managed to make his trio sound as a unique group, with an unusual language, inimitable nuances and a creativity both subtle and explosive at the same time. His compositions, his arrangements and the interpretations follow a similar treatment, identifiable from the first note, based on the exploration of his instrument which seems to be limitless, turning him into a delicate blend of rhythmist melodist colorist.

For this special night at the Music Village of Brussels, the Thomas Delor Trio will play the music of the great composer and improviser Thelonious Monk.

The trio released in september 2018 "The Swaggerer" (awarded « Album Revelation » by Jazz Magazine, « Album of the year 2018 » by Libération, « Hit » Couleurs Jazz, etc.) then in may 2020 "Silence The 13th" (« 4 stars » by Jazz Magazine, « 4 stars » by Jazz Journal (UK), « Awarded » by Citizen Jazz, awarded « Indispensable » by Paris-Move/Blues Magazine, etc.), both praised by the international press, with the support of the SCPP and produced by the label Fresh Sound New Talent.

"Old Style" has been the motto all the time, in which long forgotten songs and surprising themes prevail.

This shows that "New Orleans jazz" is so much more than the playing style of black musicians who visited our regions in the sixties and seventies.

Their favourite repertoire dates from the "Roaring Twenties".

The group formed on the initiative of Massimo Formica gathered around this one: René Calvin on bass, René Zaprzalka on saxophone and Marcus Weymare on drums. These musicians, from different backgrounds, dialogue with talents for the sole pleasure of our ears. What emerges is a real musical crossbreeding which has as its backdrop a friendship shared on stage with the public. The repertoire is made up in particular of original compositions which are sometimes intimate fires that crackle and tickle your hearing, sometimes fires that set the audience on fire. TRANS/FUZION also reappropriates with the impertinence of the pieces of Mike Stern, Jhon Scofield, Chick Corea, thereby proving that interpretation and improvisation are only two complementary approaches to music.

Soirée exceptionnelle en soutien au secteur du théâtre !

Un spectacle tout public de textes et chansons érotiques

"Apologie du Cul est un spectacle détonnant. Derrière leurs pupitres, Jeanne Dailler et Isaac Thomas nous emportent dès le premier regard, avant de se multiplier sous nos yeux, passant d’une époque à une autre, d’un corps à l’autre.

Ils virevoltent d’une époque à une autre.

Une histoire d’un soir? Une histoire d’amour? Qu’importe. Le sexe est un jeu où les corps se trouvent au centre, sublimés d’exister à travers l’écriture d’un Musset, d’un Bataille ou celle d’un Nabokov. Une réaffirmation du désir de l’autre, du désir de soi, dans lequel les corps des comédiens et des spectateurs s’abandonnent sans moralisme. Qu’il est beau d’être soi.

On ne se lasse pas de cette pièce, on ne se lasse pas de revoir ces deux comédiens. Faisant évoluer le spectacle en introduisant de nouveaux textes, ou en agençant différemment les lectures en fonction du lieu, intégrant dans leur équipe Julien Van Aerschot au piano, Jeanne Dailler et Isaac Thomas affirment le vivant et la mouvance qui le suppose. Tout est délicieusement éphémère avec eux, sinon l’immortalité du mouvement et de l’intention théâtrale. "

After participating in such prestigious events as Afro-Latino, Esperanzah, Polé Polé, Tanjazz festival, Afro Yambi Jazz is back!

Their repertoire consists essentially of original titles. Put together through collective work, it presents a subtle balance between original compositions and improvisations.  In short, a constant creativity at the service of a sophisticated musical concept, which nevertheless, remains accessible to everyone.

This non conventional approach most certainly brings something new from what is ordinarily available today.  While conserving the best part of the tradition, the lyrics meet the daily life cares.

In one word, we could say that Africa embraces Jazz and vice versa  And let’s rejoice in that!
