Gregory Frateur, known for his soulful voice and unique stage presence, pays tribute to the great female jazz divas of yesteryear. With Billie Holiday as the shining centrepiece, he weaves an intimate and compelling musical journey through timeless songs full of passion, love and melancholy. Together with top musicians Bram Weijters (piano), Nicolas Rombouts (double bass) and Steven Cassiers (drums), Frateur revives the magic of the jazz repertoire in idiosyncratic, personal interpretations. Don't expect literal copies, but surprising reworkings that pay tribute to the original power of the music while allowing his own musical universe to speak. A concert that takes you to the soul of jazz, but always with a fresh and contemporary touch.
