"The label was formed in 1989 by drummer Bruno Castellucci and radio producer Patrick Bauwens.
Nono Garcia was our first artist signed on the label, an incredible Spanish guitar player with a unique touch of expression and great compositions, then it was time to invite a young piano player by the name of Eric Legnini in our family. The combination of a trio including Bruno, Eric and Jean Louis Rassinfosse gave us "Antraigues" nominated " Best Belgian Jazz album in 1994".
Inside, by Fox and Crows, a pop melodic project including some compositions by Bernard Brochier and myself, was released in 1995. Fox & Crows was born with the help of all those great jazz musicians.
Other great musicians came along such as Jean Pierre Catoul & Charles Loos with their album "Summer Winds"; "Towards the light" by the Castellucci Stringtet, a blend of classical feelings and pure jazz.
"Lost & found" celebrating the reunion of John Taylor and the Bruno Castellucci Quintet.
"The Live Takes Vol. 1" by Toots Thielemans released in October 1999 is one the jewels of this catalog.
"Restless" from Jean Pierre Catoul & Peter Hertmans offers a unique way to discover these two great musicians - November 1999.

But Quetzal is also the home of the project "Carnets d'Emeraude", a musical journey broadcasted on Belgian national radio for ten years.
The well acclaimed radio program is now available on CD in a series to be extended in the upcoming months.

Feel free to check our selections and many thanks for your interest.
