Sounds Jazz Club⎜WOLF IN THE WOOD
Belgium, Brussels, Rue de la tulipe, 28, 1050With this "woody" quartet (piano, congas, bass and flutes) pianist Anne Wolf returns to her love for jazz and South American rhythms.
Returning to the sources of her inspiration, she revisits standards with a touch of bossa nova, samba, mambo, bolero, gospel or swing.
Her repertoire deliberately abandons personal compositions and approaches freer structures through carefully selected pieces from the domains of Stevie Wonder, A.C. Jobim, Michel Petrucciani, Wayne Shorter, Charles Loos and Steve Swallow.
Surrounded by marvelous soloists, the quartet of Anne offers a particular, warm and groovy sound, festive one could almost say!
