For this latest edition of Nostalgia in Grand Place, the Toots pays tribute to one of the great masters of jazz guitar: Kenny Burrell.
A key figure in American jazz, Burrell has left his mark on the history of the instrument with his elegant, deeply bluesy playing, characterised by a rare subtlety. His warm touch and sense of groove have given rise to albums that have achieved cult status — including the legendary *Midnight Blue* — where blues, swing and hard bop come together with unrivalled simplicity and class.
Through this programme, the musicians of this quartet delve back into this timeless repertoire, breathing new life into these themes brimming with groove and refinement. In the club’s intimate atmosphere, they explore the full richness of this music, ranging from hushed swing to deep blues and nocturnal lyricism.
An invitation to rediscover the world of Kenny Burrell, one of the most elegant and influential guitarists in the history of jazz, for an afternoon dedicated to groove and tradition — right here, just a stone’s throw from the Grand-Place.
