THE BEATLES IN JAZZ

The Music Village Rue des Pierres 50 Steenstraat, Brussels, Belgium

COME TOGETHER !

 

 

Hervé Caparros (guitar), Michel Mainil (sax), Sal La Rocca (double bass), Bruno Castellucci (drums)

 

While the Beatles and jazz might seem worlds apart — British pop from the ’60s on one side, an American tradition rooted in improvisation on the other — the connections between these two musical universes run deeper than they appear.

From their earliest days, the Beatles displayed a remarkable musical openness, drawing inspiration from rhythm and blues, rock’n’roll, classical music… and, more subtly, from jazz.

Through the harmonic richness of certain compositions (Michelle, Yesterday, Blackbird…) and their strong melodic sense, the Beatles have inspired many jazz musicians. For them, this repertoire became fertile ground for reinterpretation, arrangement, and improvisation.

Jazz doesn’t approach the Beatles as a static tribute, but rather as a living body of work — something to transform, explore, and carry forward.

Here is that repertoire, revisited in an instrumental format, with a few songs sung as well.

COMFORTING JAZZ STANDARDS

The Music Village Rue des Pierres 50 Steenstraat, Brussels, Belgium

IGOR GEHENOT TRIO

 

 

Igor gehenot - piano
Sal La Rocca - bass
Umberto Odone - drums

 

The project was launched in 2022 by a close-knit trio: pianist Igor Gehenot, double bassist Sal La Rocca, and drummer Umberto Odone. Their original intention was simple: to play comforting jazz standards in a spirit of returning to their roots after the upheavals of the health crisis. Together, they revisit the great names of post-bop, from Freddie Hubbard to Lee Morgan, Mulgrew Miller, and Nicholas Payton, with freshness and vitality.

It is from this initial impulse that Shining Face, the pianist's new album, emerges. Dedicated to his son, this new opus is distinguished by a clear common thread: a taste for swing and melody. In keeping with his previous albums, Igor Gehenot affirms his musical signature more than ever: finely crafted writing, harmonic sensitivity, and profound artistic coherence.

Driven by an obvious chemistry between the three musicians already united in the Sal La Rocca Quintet. Between original compositions and inspired reinterpretations of standards, pianist Igor Gehenot's new group explores a vibrant post-bop repertoire that is both demanding and accessible.

JAZZ JAM SESSION (free entrance)

The Music Village Rue des Pierres 50 Steenstraat, Brussels, Belgium

MARCO MARCELLETTI Trio opens the jam

 

 

Marco Marcelletti - piano
Jonathan Colin-Bouhon - bass
Gabriel Moraes - drums

 

Marco Marcelletti is a young Italian pianist, established in Brussels since many years. His music is characterized by strong melodies and harmonic sophistication, with a taste of italian lyricism but always looking up to the  american tradition and contemporaneity.

His trio built up in the city of Brussels in September 2024 and it is completed by the belgian bassist Jonathan Collin-Bouhon (21) and the brazilian drummer Gabriel Moraes (25). This multiculturality translates in a pluri-directional band, where each element enriches the music with their roots and influences and where their friendship creates a strong bond between them. The trio proposes original compositions of high lyricism and intensity, with a clear aesthetic idea based on an attentive research of sound, harmonic fineness and strong melodies, as well as jazz standards.

In the last year they played in various venues such as “Brussels Jazz Weekend”, the “European Parliament Series”, the MiM Concert Series and they plan to record an album soon.

Based in Ljubljana, he is known for his explorative approach to sound and his commitment to free improvisation. His energy doesn’t leave anyone untouched, a messenger of the truth.

Matthias De Waele is one of Belgium’s masters of understatement. An intriguing musician with a huge musical vocabulary, vivid imagination and unlimited curiosity and neverending invention. That makes him one of the most in-demand players around.

Roeland Cellis has been sent to us from the future to teach us with music how the universe was created and how we can create universes. An architect of sound, a master of time and space. And he does all that with his guitar.

Andrej Thompson is a rare bird with a special voice. The australian/slovenian saxophonist has created his own language of sound, space and time where he creates worlds for us to enjoy.

Robert Jukic has been playing, composing, recording, producing and telling stories with music since the mid 90’s, performing with many international artists and ensembles, working also with interdisciplinary artists, theatres and movie directors.

Bill Evans stands as one of the most influential pianists in jazz history. His innovative approach to harmony, his unique phrasing, and his work in piano/bass/drums trios have left a lasting impact on all who followed. As a key contributor to Miles Davis's legendary album "Kind of Blue," Evans spent much of his career performing in trios, redefining the genre with his unmistakable arrangements of standards and his stunning original compositions.

Joachim Caffonnette, a distinguished pianist and composer on the European jazz circuit with three albums to his name as a bandleader and more than 15 years of experience on jazz club and festival stages, has never gone more than two days without listening to the American maestro. Tonight, he will perform to honor this music that is both romantic, swinging, and timeless.

The Music Village Rue des Pierres 50 Steenstraat, Brussels, Belgium

PHILIPPE LEJEUNE QUARTET

 

Philippe LeJeune, piano
Paolo Loveri, guitar
René Stock, acoustic bass
Tristan Patigny, drums

 

French pianist Philippe LeJeune is a perfect example of the mixture of jazz and blues which was especially an important strain in the jazz tradition. The young pianist attended in 1968 a concert in Reims (France) by master boogie woogie and blues pianist  singer Memphis Slim, and immediately put an end to his classical efforts and began teaching himself piano blues, scouring local record shops fort LP's by boogie woogie greats. In 1980 he was invited by Memphis Slim himself - who had been a Parisian citizen since 1962 - to cut an album titled "Dialog In Boogie" as a piano duet.

Philippe Lejeune's playing creates a strong blues flavor of soulful, swinging jazz. His repertoire reflects the pianist important early influences, honoring the blues and jazz masters who inspired him when he first began playing jazz. His playing is always a brilliant assortment of sobriety and expressiveness. Philippe LeJeune has a wide repertoire ranging from classic barrelhouse boogie woogie piano to Duke Ellington and Horace Silver tunes as well those of Milt Jackson and Neal Hefti, but he sounds 'at home' when playing the blues.

Philippe LeJeune has released seven CDs in the United States, the most recent is "Cleveland Gateway" (2019) recorded in a trio format. He also makes numerous appearances in major festivals including Detroit Jazz Festival, Cincinnati Blues Fest, Monterey Bay Blues Festival, Jazz N'June Festival in Huntsville AL, Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz CA, Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Festival in Toledo OH, and has been a regular guest of first rate American jazz clubs as Baker's and CliffBell's (Detroit MI), Nighttown (Cleveland OH) or Cezanne (Houston TX) ... His performance at the Motor City Blues & Boogie Woogie Festival (Detroit, 2005) was recorded live to be edited into P.B.S. television specials and DVD.

Living in Toulouse, France, LeJeune has also performed for many years throughout Europe in the jazz festival and blues circuit (France, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, United Kingdom) and in Africa (Tunisia, Senegal). As an educator and clinician he has taught workshops in music schools, conservatories of music, and has lead seminars at jazz festivals throughout France and USA.  Philippe LeJeune's name was introduced into the famous "New Grove Dictionary of Jazz" (Barry Kernfeld) in 2001.

Philippe LeJeune is doing his part to continue a legacy by blending classic jazz, blues and boogie woogie, with his own stylings. He explores an impressive variety of blues styles and grooves, leaving listeners with a happy feeling.

JAZZ JAM SESSION (free entrance)

The Music Village Rue des Pierres 50 Steenstraat, Brussels, Belgium

IGOR GEHENOT TRIO

 

 

Igor gehenot - piano
Sal La Rocca - bass
Umberto Odone - drums

 

The project was launched in 2022 by a close-knit trio: pianist Igor Gehenot, double bassist Sal La Rocca, and drummer Umberto Odone. Their original intention was simple: to play comforting jazz standards in a spirit of returning to their roots after the upheavals of the health crisis. Together, they revisit the great names of post-bop, from Freddie Hubbard to Lee Morgan, Mulgrew Miller, and Nicholas Payton, with freshness and vitality.

It is from this initial impulse that Shining Face, the pianist's new album, emerges. Dedicated to his son, this new opus is distinguished by a clear common thread: a taste for swing and melody. In keeping with his previous albums, Igor Gehenot affirms his musical signature more than ever: finely crafted writing, harmonic sensitivity, and profound artistic coherence.

Driven by an obvious chemistry between the three musicians already united in the Sal La Rocca Quintet. Between original compositions and inspired reinterpretations of standards, pianist Igor Gehenot's new group explores a vibrant post-bop repertoire that is both demanding and accessible.

EXCEPTIONAL VOCALIST

KELLY GREEN TRIO

 

Kelly Green - piano/voice
Luca Soul Rosenfeld - bass
Evan Hyde - drums 

 

“Kelly Green does something few artists can — she redraws the contours of jazz itself.” (Paris-Move)

Gather ’round, let me tell you a secret: Steinway Artist Kelly Green transforms emotional experiences into whimsical jazz worlds. She plays and sings with the mysterious knowingness of someone who has felt deeply and returned wiser, now offering musical gifts wrapped in rhythm and rhyme.

A pianist, vocalist, composer, and bandleader, Green leads her trio through theatrically intricate, lyric-driven ballads, high-energy swing, and heroic instrumental compositions. Her sets weave original works with reimagined pieces by Mulgrew Miller, Duke Ellington, Blossom Dearie, and more — bridging eras with a distinctive touch.

Critics call her “one of the most gifted vocalists working today” (Paris-Move) and “one of the most quietly revolutionary vocalists of her generation” (Thierry De Clemensat). Jazz legend Christian McBride describes her as “one of the most talented and spirited people I know.” In 2025, her magnetic performances and undoubtedly-cool band chemistry earned her a Jazz Roads Touring Grant.

Green has performed and recorded with Rich Perry, Steve Wilson, Scott Robinson, Christian McBride, George Coleman, and Billy Hart, and has sold out venues including The Kennedy Center, Birdland, and the DC Jazz Festival. Her fifth album, Corner of My Dreams — a surrealist, storybook journey through love, grief, and imagination — releases August 2025.

Even in the largest halls, Kelly Green plays as if you’re the only one in the room.

After "Big Wheel", I'm continuing on my path as drummer-leader in the form of a trio.
Wishing to reveal a new facet of my sound identity, I have created a repertoire based on the color indigo.
At first glance, the color blue tinges with violet, but it's also a denomination for sensitive, creative people.
Driven by these two ideas, I've composed sound canvases within which I invite the listener to travel.

INCREDIBLE NIGHT

The Music Village Rue des Pierres 50 Steenstraat, Brussels, Belgium

ROARING CATS

 

 

Sam Ghezzi : vocals, tenor saxophone, conducting
Mo van der Does : clarinet
Coos Zwagerman : trumpet
Joan Codina : trombone
Oscar Ployart Wetche : piano
Davor Stehlik : banjo
Tomek van Leeuwen: upright bass
Joe Crotch : drums

 

Roaring Cats is a swing/hot jazz band founded in Amsterdam in 2018 by Sam Ghezzi and Davor Stehlik. During these years the band, started as a quartet, developed into a small orchestra featuring the horn section Joan Codina, Mo van der Does and the piano player Oscar Ployart Wetche.

After several concerts in festivals, venues and arranging sessions, their repertoire grew into a set of original arrangements of 20’s\30’s compositions, melting different identities and musical ideas.

Through a philologically conscious approach, their sound reflects the development of the music born in New Orleans, symbol of a mixture of sounds from an abundance of cultures.

Within the boundaries of a musical language that feels distant in time but close to the most natural and spontaneous artistic expressions they took the challenge of giving value and new significance to the roots of jazz.

Combining the artistic and entertaining content, they are able to offer a unique way of performing which captures the interest of art seekers and jazz connoisseurs as well as a more inexperienced audience.

In order to succeed, they took the risk of limiting themselves to the style restrictions and parameters that eventually allowed them to experiment and create something new. By using this approach they can express musical ideas in the most diverse ways, coming up with different paths to investigate the beauty of simplicity.
