Damien Brassart trio “Rivières” + Jazz Jam Session
The Music Village Rue des Pierres 50 Steenstraat, Brussels, BelgiumDamien Brassart - saxophone soprano, compositions
Jim Monneau - bass
Diogo Alexandre – drums
Damien Brassart trio is a jazz ensemble made up of 3 inspired and inspiring musicians: Jim Monneau on double bass, Diogo Alexandre on drums and Damien Brassart on saxophone. They have already had the honour of playing at the Jazz Station in Brussels in June, following which they had the opportunity to record an album (with the Thöz label).
The trio's music, deeply rooted in jazz and improvisation, suggests letting the flows that inhabit us, question us and move us, to create music that is intense, subtle and inner, constituting a kind of liberatory ritual...
Like an inner swell, the music of Damien Brassart, Jim Monneau and Diogo Alexandre carries us along, engulfs us, submerges us, jostles us, rushes us, but also cradles us, reassures us, soothes us, reveals us and keeps us moving...
With ‘Rivières’, the trio offers a sonic immersion into the world of our emotions, an exploration of the invisible currents that flow through each of us. This original project is conceived as an ode to these inner rivers, these often buried flows of emotion that we too rarely allow to express themselves freely. In this new repertoire (‘Erosion’, ‘Déluge’, ‘La chute’, ‘Mémoires du Nil’, ‘Rivières’, etc.), Damien Brassart invites us to hold nothing back, to block nothing, just to let our inner rivers flow, so that through music they find their natural course.
That's what jazz and improvisation can offer us: playing with the fragility of the moment to let what's there flow and enjoy that freedom.

Stéphane Mercier Alto Saxophone
Vincent Bruyninckx piano
Giuseppe Milacci double bass

How to pay tribute to the great trumpeter Miles Davis with two saxophones?
Stéphane Mercier (alto saxophone) and Vincent Mardens (tenor saxophone) decided to come together to evoke Miles through his different eras, paying tribute to his music and especially to the various groups, or rather quintets, he formed throughout the years.
Whether it’s an indirect homage to Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins, or John Coltrane, this project revisits the universe of Miles Davis, with a dream rhythm section and two saxophonists as partners in crime. This project, somewhat like a Mission Impossible, aims to honor Miles' legacy across the ages.
For this quintet, we have gathered an exceptional team: Stéphane Mercier (alto saxophone), Vincent Mardens (tenor saxophone), Vincent Bruyninckx on piano, Giuseppe Milacci on double bass, and Mimi Verderame on drums. Together, we aim to tell the story of Miles' music and the legacy of the giants who accompanied him.

The ghost, the King and I was founded in 2007 by pianist Rob van Bavel.

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.

John Law’s Re-Creations
The Music Village Rue des Pierres 50 Steenstraat, Brussels, BelgiumThe 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!”

The Music Village Rue des Pierres 50 Steenstraat, Brussels, BelgiumGypsy Jazz
Violin : Florin Niculescu
Violin Frédéric Chaine
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..
