Michel Herr Positive Tentet

With Bert Joris (trumpet/flugelhorn), Paul Heller (tenor sax), Peter Hertmans (guitar), Nathalie Loriers (piano), Sam Gerstmans (double bass), Dré Pallemaerts (drums) and the string quartet : Benoît Leseure (vl 1), Pierre Heneaux (vl 2), Jean-François Durdu (viola) and Merryl Havard (cello).

10 musicians : 6 renown jazzmen, all superb soloists, and a string quartet.

Michel Herr, who is known internationally for his talents as a jazz pianist/composer/arranger, offers here music which is at same time warm and refreshing, a combination of vitality, beauty and emotion.

His compositions, marked with his unique touch, his refined arrangements, illustrate his attachment to a music that is accessible, rich in melodic and harmonic contents and built on nice grooves. The strings have a substantial role as a musical partner in the project and the soloists are first class. The dialog is creative and the chemistry works.
And emotion is never far away...
