The Glitter of the City

BackBack III
** 2021 Stock ** 'BackBack is the flamboyant jazz trio around renowned guitarist Filip Wauters. A unique blend of jazz, rock, free jazz, and funk, but with the impact and sound of a thunderous rock band. Their grooves remind us of Morhpine, but at the same time, the war between bariton sax and electrical guitar is reminiscent of the confrontation between John Surman and John McLaughlin on the latter's album Extrapolation.' - Glimps 2014
"An unusual line-up" you might think, or "no bass player, i…

The Italian bass player Manolo Cabras has been for over 20 years at his side. Cabras has been on stage and recorded with the Toots Thielemans Quartet, Manuel Hermia Tri…
Sweet Defeat
** 2021 Stock ** Forming Sweet Defeat composer and multi-instrumentalist Tom Wouters (Flat Earth Society, Crap Squeezer, Flick Flack Bat) gathered congenial minds with gitarist Bert Dockx (Flying Horseman, Dans Dans, Score Man, Strand) and cellist Lode Vercampt (Kris Defoort, duo with Bart Maris) for a rather atypical trio.

Along the Way
Hardcover edition .Texts by Brötzmann, Stephen O'Malley, John Corbett, Karl Lippegaus, Heather Leigh, Sotiris Kontos, Thomas Millroth, Markus Müller Being on the road so much, the time-space between the tours is not long enough for preparing big canvases and starting oil-paintings.

You use what there is and that’s what we musicians call improvising and that’s wha…
Gender and Identity in Jazz

The conference participants looked at jazz history, but they self-confidently also looked at the jazz scene of today. The…
