SAL LA ROCCA 4tet
BandBassist Sal La Rocca's new album is full of groove and freedom. His modern jazz and transe-like sounds are touched by avant-gardism. Walloon and Flemish, Belgian and Italian, his band is a model of unity through diversity. The project explores a certain duality. First, by the presence of Flemish and Walloon musicians; then, by the apparent opposition between avant-gardism and tradition. Jeroen and Lieven open doors to unexpected sounds and colors. Sal and Pascal are more anchored in the tradition, while remaining permeable to other sounds. This alliance offers open music, with surprising tones, groove background that recall the hard-bop of the 60s. – Igoo Records/Album
INGRID NOMAD
BandAbout : We were pleasantly surprised by this album of a singer and a quartet, who complete each other. With this debut work you have every reason to be proud. – you’ll get entrance to a very beautiful build up world of lyrics and tunes in harmony with each other. A voice with a lot of potential and lyrics that have something to say. “Jazzmozaiek” – March 2017 – Marc Van de Walle “Hushed with an awesome presence Ingrid Nomad sings with a tremendous amount of confidence on the clear-eyed jazz journey of “No Mind”. Throughout the piece the small details matter most, from the careful piano playing to the low-key bass. Best of all Ingrid Nomad’s voice has a noir-like quality to it, conveying a sense of mystery.” “Skope Magazine - January 2018 - https://skopemag.com/about-skope
PHIL ABRAHAM Quartet
BandPhil ABRAHAM is without any doubt an original player on his instrument. Coming originally from old style jazz, he rapidly developed into a modern and adventurous player. His quartet is both swinging and provocative. It features a combination of original compositions and well known standards, that the musicians totally recreate with a new, exciting, sometimes humorous approach. Phil is also an incredible scat singer. The quartet, composed of top Belgian players, shows a rare complicity and unity.
