Under The Reefs Orchestra (Salut les Voisins – Jazz bij de Buren)

Under The Reefs Orchestra describe themselves as an instrumental power trio. Their music moves between the boundaries of jazz and alternative rock. In the band, guitarist and composer Clément Nourry is joined by saxophonist Marti Melia and drummer Louis Evrard. As sources of inspiration, they cite the 19th-century French chamber music and artists such as Jim O’Rourke and Moondog. A solid blast of energy!

For fans of Moondog, The Comet Is Coming, Kamasi Washington ...

Saluts les Voisins – Jazz bij de Buren (Jazz at the Neighbours)

Jazz is above all the universal language that crosses borders and unites cultures. With the brand new Salut Les Voisins - Jazz bij de Buren, we build a bridge between the jazz scene in Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels.

During Leuven Jazz, we will introduce you to five bands from Wallonia and Brussels. Festival partner Gaume Jazz will host four Dutch-speaking bands next summer, including one selection by Leuven Jazz. This unique Flemish-Walloon-Brussels alliance will also have an international flavour: ten foreign programmers will be invited to discover the rich Belgian jazz scene.

This groundbreaking collaboration is supported by JazzLab, FAZZ, VI.BE, Gaume Jazz, Wallonie-Bruxelles Musiques, the Flemish Community and the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. This band comes from the selection Fringe European Jazz Conference.

Free for ticket holders of Stéphane Galland & The Rhythm Hunters (20.30 h- 30CC/Schouwburg).
