Eliott Knuets 5tet ft Aaron Parks / MiXMONK / aftershow: Teis Semey & Sanem Kalfa

30CC proudly presents Eliott Knuets as a young artist in residence at Leuven Jazz 2023! Knuets, still only 19 years old, fulfilled all expectations with his virtuoso and fresh guitar playing during the 2022 edition. Therefore, 30CC decided to give him a carte blanche for this special evening. For Leuven Jazz, Knuets has selected a brand-new quintet, with none other than the American top pianist Aaron Parks. They are accompanied by Basile Rahola on double bass, Antoine Pierre on drums and Josh Schofield on sax.

They'll play in a double bill with MiXMONK, the trio of pianist Bram De Looze, saxophonist Robin Verheyen and drummer Joey Baron. They'll combine the music of jazz legend Thelonious Monk with original compositions of their own. 

In the after-show, you'll get the young Danish guitarist Teis Semey and vocalist Sanem Kalfa. The duo will perform a blend of Turkish music, Danish folk music, songs and improvisation.
