De Groote-Faes Duo at Pingouin, Eeklo

Contemporary jazz, intimate, uplifting and subtly unpredictable.
Between improvisation, classical sensibility and electric textures.

Bruno De Groote — guitar

Ben Faes — double bass

The De Groote–Faes Duo brings together two internationally seasoned Belgian musicians whose distinctive voices converge in an intimate dialogue, rooted in the traditions of jazz, classical music and a contemporary electric energy.

Their singularity lies in a distinctive and organic eclecticism, born from the meeting of a classically trained double bassist and a guitarist deeply rooted in contemporary jazz, drawing on a wide musical vocabulary ranging from blues to avant-garde and post-rock, from swing to post-bop.
