Attilio Sepe, sax; Marco Marcelletti, piano
Emanuel Van Mieghem, double bass; Gabriel Moraes, drums

The band was built during Attilio Sepe's stay in Belgium, where the Italian pianist Marco Marcelletti, the Belgian double bassist Emanuel Van Mieghem and the Brazilian drummer Gabriel Moraes live. This cultural variety translates into a band with multiple expressive possibilities, capable of taking different directions and improvisational risks. The repertoire is varied as well, including both pieces from composers like Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea and original compositions from its own members. The band has already performed on various stages in Belgium and in Italy, also in collaboration with the italian legend of tenor saxophone, Maurizio Giammarco. Attilio Sepe recorded an album with this quartet that will be published by WoW Records label in 2025. The music of the album has been showcased during the last tour in Italy, which happened in December 2024.

Inspired by spiritual Jazz from the 1960s
+ Jazz Jam Session

Alto flute: Laurence Cousseau
Piano: Clément Cerovecki
Double bass: Sophian Bourire
Drums: Danny Millan Collazos

Nacelle's original compositions are based on afro-creole inspired rhythms, blended with meditative melodies and trance-like grooves. The band is inspired by spiritual jazz from the 1960s – represented by the likes of Abdullah Ibrahim, Yusef Lateef, Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane – as well as by contemporary spiritual jazz – with such musicians as Naïssam Jalal, Matthew Halsall and Shabaka Hutchings.

The band’s musical aesthetic has inspired film directors Julien Regnard and Pascal Giraud (who have also worked with jazz singer Cécile McLorin Salvant): they are currently working on an animated video clip for one of the tracks featured on Nacelle's first EP out in 2025.

Connection between Jazz and African Rhythms

These four versatile musicians pay tribute to the unique connection between jazz and African rhythms. In a setup where the bass is replaced by West African dunduns, jazz and contemporary piano intertwine with saxophone and flute featuring Coltrane-inspired tones, Afro-Cuban percussion, and modern electronic sounds. This music freely and audaciously transcends borders and styles. From composition to improvised dialogues, Akrofo System explores a repertoire of original creations, complemented by a few reimagined covers, all with a constant commitment to sharing with the audience.

The Music of George Gershwin 

Rob van Bavel - piano
Vincent Koning - guitar
Frans van Geest - bass

The ghost, the King and I was founded in 2007 by pianist Rob van Bavel.
Together with Vincent Koning (guitar) and Frans van Geest (bass) they form this “drumless” trio.

Their music is inspired by famous groups such as the Oscar Peterson trio, the Art Tatum trio and the Nat King Cole trio.

The repertoire consists of original compositions and arrangements of standard tunes, mainly written by pianist Rob van Bavel.

The music sounds traditional at certain times, or modern at other times, but is always heavy swinging!!
The arrangements are very virtuoso and sparkling, and provide a lot of space for improvisation.

The group-sound and interaction are incredible; you really must come to see and hear this trio at a live performance!
The trio has performed on the Tokyo Jazzfestival, Siberia, South Korea (and of course the main stages in Europe).

In 2009 the first cd of the Ghost, the King and I was released by Daybreak/Challenge international ("En blanc et noir, No.11”), followed by ‘Trilogy’ (with arrangements of ‘the 3 Preludes’ of George Gershwin)

The latest release was in 2023 ‘We got Rhythm’, celebrating their 15 years Anniversary as a Trio, performing original arrangements of the music of George Gershwin.

The best-known melodies from everywhere

John Law, piano
Sam Crockatt, saxophones
Henrik Jensen, bass
Alex Goodyear, drums

New pieces inspired by some of the best-known melodies from everywhere! Jazz, rock, pop, classical…

John Law (“One of the UK’s most imaginative and versatile jazz pianists” International Piano Magazine, 2014) presents Re-Creations: creative re-workings of some of the world’s most familiar music. Started in 2016, the idea is simple: we take some of the best-known tunes from all genres - jazz, pop, indie, rock, folk, classical sometimes - and re-create them, finding new arrangements and new angles to present them. Sometimes just spontaneously re-inventing them. But no matter how free and inventive we get, no matter how complex and intricate the arrangements become, audiences everywhere always feel part of the creative process, because they know the tune and recognise it when it comes back. This is creative jazz which does not exclude audiences; the listeners are an integral part of the whole experience. The current repertoire, with tunes from the recent album Many Moons (33JAZZ296), includes a deep groove House Of The Rising Sun, a mad version of Mama Mia mashed together with Pachelbel’s Canon, Eye Of The Tiger in 15(!), an arhythmic take on Smoke on the Water and a gorgeous re-interpretation of Ravel’s Pavane…

“Striking arrangements and great skill and invention in the solos... I can’t remember a better jazz gig! Breathtaking!” 

“Only in Re-Creations could Debussy be followed by Deep Purple! One of the best jazz performances I have ever seen!”

Gypsy Jazz

Guitar : Rafael Gouirand
Guitar : Frédéric Guédon
Double bass : Vilmos Csikos

Frédéric Chaine has invited for this concert the jazz violin star Florin Niculescu. Surrounded by exceptional jazz musicians they will perform this evening a repertoire of standards and compositions in tribute to the legendary “Quintet of the Hot Club of France” formed by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli.

Florin Niculescu has developed his own unique sound and language, thanks to his solid classical training, but also with the experience of its many musical collaborations alongside the

greatest musicians. His impeccable violin technique and phenomenal virtuosity admired by all musicians and auditors, are never an end in itself, but the means to express his musical personality. Similarly, the obvious spiritual filiation with his idol Stéphane Grappelli (1908-1997) is in no way a limitation on his own expression, but rather a goad that drives him to innovation. One of the few European artists who performed at Carnegie Hall.

Invited in 2007 to a tribute to the great pianist Oscar Peterson (who called Florin "the Carpathian Hurricane" after hearing him play) he shared the stage with icons of the jazz world : Hank Jones, Billy Taylor, Wynton Marsalis, Russell Malone, Christian McBride, Paquito D’Rivera, Mulgrew Miller, Lewis Nash, Houston Person, Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath etc..
