## Biography

Hubert Rostaing was one of the great masters of the clarinet and an essential figure of the swing era in Europe. Famous for being Django Reinhardt's brilliant partner in the legendary Quintette du Hot Club de France, he possessed a warm, refined sound of incomparable elegance. His virtuosic and lyrical phrasing, capable of rivaling the greatest American soloists of his time, made him one of the most influential musicians in the history of European jazz and an absolute reference for his instrument.

Anton Kerkhof is one of the rare Belgian jazz musicians to have made the clarinet his instrument of choice, far from the more beaten paths of the saxophone. This unique specialization gives him a natural affinity with Rostaing's universe, perfectly capturing his formidable swing, grace, and finesse with rare sensitivity.
