Little Fly is Federico Stocchi’s new band, a space where he surrounds himself with friends/musicians he loves. Two pianists, Yu-Ting and Lenny, are brought together to create a soundscape exploring the different sides of their instruments, grounded by the abstract and raw drumming of Gaspard.In this environment Federico finds the perfect playground to express himself, navigating the balance between solid bass lines and spontaneous moments of exploration. Their music embraces differences and contrasts, and it’s rooted in connection between the musicians, honesty and playfulness.It’s about growing up without unlearning too much, a nostalgic trip to the future.

Bandleader Benjamin Schneider's compositions interweave inner and outer landscapes – sometimes dreamy and vulnerable, sometimes dark and powerful. Combined with their energetic interplay and the spontaneity of their improvisation, the four musicians create their own lyrical to rock sound in the realm of modern jazz. With their debut album "Metamorphosis" and other new pieces, the jazz quartet "Qube" offers a diverse program.The band met during their studies and won the "Talent Award" at the Maastricht Jazz Awards in 2019.

Sylvain Debaisieux est un saxophoniste incontournable sur la scène du jazz belge depuis plusieurs années. Il invite ce soir deux phénomènes récemment arrivés sur la scène bruxelloise : le batteur Diogo Alexandre et le contrebassiste Zé Almeida.
Ensemble ils partent à l’exploration de nouveaux territoires, navigant entre eaux calmes et limpides et flots tumultueux qui poussent les trois musiciens dans leurs retranchements. Ils décideront ensemble sur le moment de se diriger vers des îlots, éléments de matière compositionnelle ou de répertoire commun qui leur donneront un nouveau souffle pour repartir à l'aventure. 

Mingus Minga Mingum is a collective of musicians coordinated by Clément Cerovecki, and fully dedicated to the music of composer and double bassist Charles Mingus. The aim is to keep this amazing repertoire alive, that shifts between swing, bebop, blues, gospel, free jazz, and classical influences, while adding a personal touch. In the vein of Duke Ellington’s big band, but with more fury, and chaos, this music, still too rarely performed, is an endless source of inspiration and fun for us.
