Original Trio Music Live in Antwerp I 360° Sound Immersion

As we welcome 2024, I wish you all good health, boundless love, and serene tranquility.

I am thrilled to announce the reunion of my trio with Michel Hatzigeorgiou and Dré Pallemaerts, which traces its origins back to 1989. Over the years, we have performed on numerous stages in Belgium and abroad, and our collaboration has yielded the albums ‘Some Sounds’ (1990) and ‘Eleven’ (1995).

Join us next Sunday, 28 January at the Café Des Arts in Antwerp. Our performance will feature a selection of original compositions that have stood the test of time, offering a nostalgic glimpse into our musical journey.
This is a rare opportunity to witness the synergy of our trio. Join us as we recreate the magic that has defined our collaboration and celebrate the timeless artistry of live music.

"Compassion" and "Motian Love" I Live This Week

“Compassion” played in front of an enthusiastic full house at the Padova Jazz Festival just a few weeks ago. Here we are again with our way of playing the music of John Coltrane. A more intimate club setting this time, at the Caveau du Max in Brussels, this coming Thursday 23 November. It’s a dinner and concert package.

Nicolas Chkifi’s new band “Motian Love” with Nico on drums, Artan Buleskaj and Vitja Pauwels on guitars, and Nicolas Kummert and myself on tenor saxophones are playing at Café Roskam in the center of Brussels next Sunday 26 November. We explore the music of the late Paul Motian. It’s our prémière with this band. Come and check us out! Free entrance.

"Compassion" at the Padova Jazz Festival, Italy this weekend!

Hey people, I'll be performing at the Padova Jazz Festival 2023 in Italy this upcoming Sunday morning in a duo with the amazing Peter Hertmans on guitar. It will be like a celebration of our 40 years of making music together. I will bring one of my signing bowls, the “Dreamer”, and some bells and rattles too. We'll be interpreting several John Coltrane compositions in our own sweet way, as recorded on our latest album "Compassion", as well as a few originals. Spread the word! hope to see you there.
