"When Jean Haesen, partner of the Euregio, contacted me in 2020 to realize the version of the Real Book for the Province of Liege, Jazz Maastricht was finishing the first version for the region of Limburg NL and the representatives of Aachen were realizing theirs.
For this project, the Province of Liège, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège, PlayRight+, the Belgian German-speaking Community, the City of Liège and the Dutch Embassy support us for the realization, the edition and the diffusion. The House of Jazz in Liège, Sunergia in Eupen and the Jazz Foundation Maastricht offer us their partnership.
With the help of Angela Lia from the Cultural Service of the Province of Liège and René Janssen for Ostbelgien we contacted composers in the whole Province of Liège who were involved in the project. Each composer (present and active on the jazz scene in terms of concerts and recordings... discography, video, film music...) proposed a work representing his universe: it is an open window on his present and future global work.
The reunion of all these composers from the Grand Province testifies in these uncertain times to the deep and voluntary resilience of the musical milieu and in this case the Jazz sector.
Whatever the events to come, I am proud to have contributed to the realization of this beautiful compilation of the Real Book Liège-Ostbelgien Volume 1.
André KLENES - October 2022.

André Klenes has been a witness and actor in the evolution of jazz in the Province of Liège and elsewhere for almost half a century, as a musician, composer and promoter of numerous projects. His function as a consultant musician in the "Ça Balance" project for the past fifteen years has accompanied the young generation in its evolution. His position as pedagogical manager and teacher for 25 years at the Gaume Jazz Course of the Jeunesses Musicales du Luxembourg Belge has allowed him to acquire field experience and a sense of organization over the long term. His experience is put at the service of this great project realized for the whole jazz community of the four Euregio-Meuse-Rhine regions (Liege, Belgian Limburg, Limburg NL, Aachen).
