15u HU! medium large HU! is a jazz project that challenges todays' unconscious gender biases and the fact that there are still so few female jazz instrumentalists (only 5% jazz instrumentalists are female).

Fil Caporali, Tom Bourgeois, Théo Lanau, Lucia Pires, Michel Hatzigeorgiou |

15u Le Monde Merveilleux de Pépito ft Alexandra Grimal
(gepresenteerd door HA’ Concerts) The beginning of this world was born in Chalon sur Saône in Burgundy (France) and the project grew up in Brussel, especially on the legendary scene of the Sounds Jazz Club. With the complicity of young musicians and friends from the Belgian capital, Pierre-Antoine offers an organic and surprising music, where improvisation and reinterpretation describe stories, unique atmospheres and human emotions.

AchterHam Sessions @ Ham 12 Zondag 8 maart om 15u BRAX TREE & Anna Webber |
|
|
|
|
Brax' Tree is een trio dat ontstond als een spin-off project van Kobe Van Cauwenberghe's Ghost Trance Music septet, dat sinds 2020 de muziek van Anthony Braxton interpreteert en uitvoert, soms zelfs in de aanwezigheid van de maestro, waarbij de muziek balanceert tussen improvisatie en partituren.
Delannoye, Verbruggen en Sakham stonden te popelen om de Braxton-sound verder uit te werken en voegden hun jazzachtergrond toe aan de mix. Het nieuwe trio-repertoire bevatte, naast Braxton-composities, ook origineel werk dat voor het trio was geschreven, evenals interpretaties van het repertoire van Mark Helias' Open Loose Trio en Ornette Coleman.
Voor de gelegenheid vervoegt ANNA WEBBER, de New-Yorkse tenoriste het trio. Steven Delannoye ts, Anna Webber ts, Frederik Sakham ts, Teun Verbruggen dr. |
