Soirée vidéo Michel Herr (en sa présence)

Michel Herr represents no less than half a century of Belgian jazz history, taking part in the period when this musical milieu became more structured and gained greater recognition.
His career really took off in 1971, and immediately took an international turn, notably with Wolfgang Engstfeld, who became a regular partner. Solis Lacus and Mauve Traffic with Steve Houben were two flagship formations of the 70s, when jazz fusion and electric jazz dominated, and where he perfected his piano playing.
Later, his abundant hair did not prevent him from wearing many hats, as the pianist also asserted himself over time as a composer, arranger, conductor and producer, both in Belgium and abroad. With a predilection for extended formations and a fondness for strings.
Concentrating on writing (composition and arrangement) for some years now, he has also been a sought-after sideman, underlining his presence for almost twenty years with Toots Thielemans' European quartet and countless prestigious collaborations (Joe Lovano, Archie Shepp, Joe Henderson, Chet Baker...).

Michel Herr will be on hand to comment on this rich and ongoing career.
