## Biography

**Watch out – a brand-new concert!**

Following a series of extraordinary circumstances, the concert originally scheduled for this evening has had to be postponed… A golden opportunity for our artistic director to put together a brand-new line-up, bringing together the cream of Belgian jazz, and to celebrate the hard bop of the 1960s, which made the prestigious Blue Note label’s name.

Herbie Hancock, Hank Mobley, Dexter Gordon, Lee Morgan, Kenny Droham, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard and Horace Silver have left us with an absolutely thrilling repertoire, which these musicians – among the most sought-after on the Belgian scene – will bring back to life for one unique evening.

Opportunity knocks: don’t miss out on this moment!
