## Biography

Luxembourg-born bassist **Boris Schmidt** has established himself as one of the distinctive voices on the Belgian jazz scene. Known for his versatility – from baroque to Latin American traditions – he creates as a leader a personal sound world that is lyrical, warm and deeply expressive.

Following _Now_ (2018), he returns with **Here**, an album with a remarkable story: after the studio burned down, the entire project had to be re-recorded months later. This ordeal adds a unique intensity to the music. Between melancholic ballads, luminous passages and southern flavours, Schmidt confirms his talent as a composer with a vibrant album carried by an exceptional band.
