A fixture on the national and international scene, Jazz Station Big Band has become an integral part of Brussels' heritage over the years, a veritable mythical group of passionate professionals. Acclaimed by the press and recognised by its peers, several albums have been released on the Igloo and Hypnote Records labels, and soon on Step By Records.
Supporting a monthly residency in a club (the Jazz Station) for almost twenty years has never been done before in Belgium. But that's not all: numerous festivals and outside venues call on the big band, who take advantage of the opportunity to collaborate with some exceptional guests. From Dinant to Dubai, they've crossed swords with the likes of Kenny Werner, Grégoire Maret, Jason Rebello, Emil Viklicky, David Linx,...
It would even seem that the group, reaching artistic maturity, is only at the genesis of its story. Indeed, their sound is now instantly recognisable, thanks not only to the unique alchemy between musicians considered to be the cream of the European crop, but also to the touch of their arrangers. Make no mistake: even if this big band gives the impression of Belgian-style lightness, sophistication and deep emotion are still inherent in their music.
The indefatigable Jazz Station Big Band is still going strong.
