Yentl Verborgt quintet

“Where modern jazz, folk, and poetry meet.”

Antwerp-based singer Yentl Verborgt presents new music. *Indigo*, her first EP, is a personal and vulnerable story. In her songs, she blends intimate lyrics with modern jazz and folk. Her time studying in Barcelona consistently finds its way into her music—whether through harmony, melody, language, or interpretation. Some songs are rooted in Yentl’s childhood: the forests of the Kempen, her grandmother’s idyllic garden, the duality of young life, …

During this concert, Yentl will be accompanied by her regular band, featuring Wout Gooris on piano (FESTI, Bert Joris ft. Sam Joris Octet, among others), Jeroen Reggers on guitar (Unfinished Business, Jeroen Reggers Quartet, Muze Jazz Orchestra, among others), Jasper De Roeck on double bass (Yes Pavlov, Oona Maeve, Muze Jazz Orchestra, among others), and Jesse Dockx on drums (Anti-Panopticon, Lieven Cambré Quartet, among others).

“What I love most about playing with this band is that every concert is different. We listen and make music with curiosity, and the interaction with the audience also plays an important role in that,” says Yentl.
