The Jazz Station Big Band
- Constituted : 01/10/2006
This band has become a true heritage of the Belgian scene and has developed a totally unique sound.
It has created a very original repertoire, and regularly invites foreign stars for collaborations, such as Grégoire Maret (USA), Jason Rebello (UK), Emil Vickliki (Czech), Damon Brown (UK), Kenny Werner (USA)...
JSBB is composed of fourteen outstanding musicians, including its own arrangers.
Two albums were released in 2021 and 2022 on the Hypnote label:
The Jazz Station Big Band & Grégoire Maret "Live in Dinant".
The Jazz Station Big Band "Moods".
"The Jazz Station Big Band is without doubt one of the most promising European big bands. The writing is ingenious and ambitious and the arrangements are deep and sensible. Their clever use of odd bars, meter changes and free improvisation keep the listener on his toes, but great lyricism, simplicity and beauty are also found in their work. This is undoubtedly a high quality album from an orchestra with unlimited potential" Antonio Sanchez (drummer of the Pat Metheny Group, and composer of the soundtrack for the film Birdman, Oscar winner for Best Film (2015) and César for Best Foreign Film).
