Jean-Paul Estiévenart, Marcel Ponseele & Il Gardellino feat. Anthony Romaniuk

What if three brilliant musicians from three different worlds reached out to each other to create a unique musical triptych based around the music of Johann Sebastian Bach? The baroque composer's masterpieces have inspired artist-in-residence Jean-Paul Estiévenart, oboist Marcel Ponseele and keyboard player Anthony Romaniuk for a project in which Bach's music alternates with idiosyncratic interpretations and improvisations. Like a true triptych, their performance consists of three parts: 'Misery', 'Transition' and 'Transfiguration'. Bach looks approvingly over their shoulders, for doesn't the number '3' stand for the divine Trinity? Two so different worlds, baroque and jazz, meet where the distinction between them disappears.

De Standaard And whoever thought it was only harmony and melody would be disappointed. Improvisation always plays a leading role in the music of this incredible Belgian trumpet player. Jazz Nu
