Basil Rahola quartet « moments »

Bassist Basile Rahola, who recently arrived in Belgium, presents his new quartet with three outstanding musicians from the Belgian jazz scene. Pierre Hurty, an eclectic French drummer, Matthias Van Den Brande on tenor saxophone, and Wajdi Riahi, his long-time sidekick, a Tunisian pianist who is particularly creative on both the Belgian and Tunisian scene and with whom he performs as part of his trio (Baz Trio).
For this project, Basile has created a completely new repertoire, drawing heavily on feelings experienced over the past few years, both on a personal and human level, but also on past encounters and travels. This quartet proposes a jazz that pushes the dynamics to the extreme, bringing an imposing panel of nuances, while keeping the sincerity and spontaneity of the musical discourse as the main purpose. These four musicians, who have just recorded their first album on the prestigious Fresh Sound New Talent label, in which two distinguished guests are present (Octavio Hernández and Claudio Jr De Rosa), will present the content of this promising opus during this concert.
