Nous accueillons Sebastiaan De Krom, batteur hollandais résident depuis très longtemps à Londres où il a collaboré avec la crème de la crème du jazz international. Il fut aussi pendant plusieurs années le batteur du pianiste et chanteur superstar Jammie Cullum.

On a besoin de vous pour exister    🇧🇪 🇳🇱 Hallo Toots! Salut à Toots! Een dagje vroeger dan gewoonlijk, om u te herinneren aan Wayne Escoffery's tweede avond bij Toots — vanavond om 20u00. Gisteravond was het werkelijk schitterend, er zijn nog iets meer dan 20 plaatsen beschikbaar en dit is zonder twijfel de beste maandagavond die u dit jaar zult beleven. De rest van de week is al even uitzonderlijk. Woensdag staat de jam session op het programma — altijd met vrije toegang, altijd met een geweldige sfeer — geopend door swingman Matthieu De Wit. Donderdag belooft een bijzonder moment te worden met de groep van Amaury Faye, NoLa, en als uitzonderlijke gast de immense Herlin Riley. Een van de grootste drummers van onze tijd, een legende van de New Orleans jazz, jarenlang metgezel van Wynton Marsalis en lid van het trio van Ahmad Jamal. Een legende van dit kaliber in de intimiteit van onze club laten voorbijgaan is schlweg geen optie. Reserveer uw plaats voor een van de twee sets en bereid u voor op een avond die u nog lang zult heugen. Uitzonderlijk deze week geen piano bar. Vrijdag zetten we de lijn van drummers als leiders verder met de komst van Sebastiaan De Krom, een Nederlandse drummer die al vele jaren in Londen woont en er heeft samengewerkt met de absolute top van de internationale jazz — waaronder verschillende jaren als drummer van superster pianist en zanger Jamie Cullum. Hij omringt zich voor dit concert met zijn Belgische vrienden van het eerste uur voor een heerlijke straight-ahead jazzavond. De late jam met de jonge Portugese tenorsaxofonist Ricardo Rosas. Zaterdag is uw maandelijkse afspraak met de Brussels Rhythm'n Blues Club — de laatste editie van het seizoen! Na de opening door house band Midnight Mary komt de Brit Lord Rochester met zijn gestripte rock'n'roll de boel in brand steken. De avond wordt verlengd met de blues late jam onder leiding van Roman. Zondag brengt Alain Pierre een hommage aan de muziek van de grote Pat Metheny, waarna we deze uitzonderlijke week afsluiten met onze old-school New Yorkse crooner Tom McGuire! Steun de lokale cultuur door er volop van te genieten — we hebben u nodig om te blijven bestaan. 🎷 🇬🇧  Hello from Toots! Newsletter a day earlier than usual to remind you about Wayne Escoffery's second night at Toots — tonight at 8pm. Last night was absolutely on fire, just over 20 seats remain and this is quite simply the best Monday evening you'll spend all year. The rest of the week is no less exceptional. Wednesday brings our jam session — always free entry, always a wonderful atmosphere — opened by swingman Matthieu De Wit. Thursday promises a truly special evening with Amaury Faye's group NoLa, joined by the extraordinary Herlin Riley as a very special guest. One of the greatest drummers of our time, a legend of New Orleans jazz, longtime companion of Wynton Marsalis and a member of the Ahmad Jamal trio. Missing a legend of this stature in the intimacy of our club is simply not an option. Book your seat for one of the two sets and prepare yourself for a night you won't forget in a hurry. No piano bar this week exceptionally. Friday, the drummer-as-leader theme continues with the welcome arrival of Sebastiaan De Krom, a Dutch drummer long based in London where he has collaborated with the very finest in international jazz — including several years as the drummer of superstar pianist and singer Jamie Cullum. He is joined by his longstanding Belgian friends for a thoroughly joyful straight-ahead jazz evening. The late jam features young Portuguese tenor saxophonist Ricardo Rosas. Saturday brings your monthly fix of the Brussels Rhythm'n Blues Club — the final edition of the season! After an opening set from house band Midnight Mary, British act Lord Rochester arrives with his stripped-back rock'n'roll to set the room alight. The evening rolls on with the blues late jam hosted by Roman. Sunday, Alain Pierre pays tribute to the music of the great Pat Metheny, before we bring this exceptional week to a close with our old-school New York crooner Tom McGuire! Support local culture by having a great time — we need you to keep this place alive. 🎷

Pump Up The Jam With Mathieu De Wit - Jam Session mercredi 3 juin - 20:30 Mathieu De Wit + guests Late Hang !  More info

Amaury Faye Nola Quartet feat. Herlin Riley - LIVING LEGEND! jeudi 4 juin - 19:30 and 21:30 Amaury Faye (p) ; Herlin Riley (dr) ; Julian Lee (ts) ; Edouard Pennes (b) Over the past decade, Amaury Faye has established himself as one of the leading pianists on the European scene. A graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he received the award for Best Pianist of the Year in 2015, he has taken part in a myriad of projects and collected numerous accolades, both as the leader of his trio and as a sideman. He recently decided to head back across the Atlantic and record where jazz was born: New Orleans. As he is not one to do things by halves, and because simply being in Louisiana is not enough, he invited for this recording a true living legend of drums and tambourine, an absolute master of this music: Herlin Riley. He has been one of the key architects of the sound of both the small and large ensembles of Wynton Marsalis, and for many years he was the drummer of Ahmad Jamal. Having him in our little club is almost unbelievable, and it is a unique opportunity to witness this towering figure at very close range. Completing the quartet are Julian Lee — another regular member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and a major figure on the New York jazz scene — and bassist Édouard Pennes, a specialist and leading figure of the Paris swing scene. The album Rust, released last autumn, was met with a flood of praise in the press, and this is a rare opportunity to discover an ensemble bringing together the very best: exceptional musicians at the height of their artistic maturity, led by one of the greatest living masters of the drums.

Sebastiaan de Krom Quartet - World-Class Drummer vendredi 5 juin - 19:30 and 21:30 Bart Defoort (ts), Ron van Rossum (p), Sal La Rocca (b) ; Sebastiaan de Krom (dr) Younger audiences, or those less familiar with jazz, may recognise Sebastiaan de Krom through his long collaboration with British singer and pianist Jamie Cullum. But this Dutch drummer, trained at Berklee and based in England for many years, has a more than impressive CV: he has played and recorded with legends such as Jackie McLean, John Scofield and Herbie Hancock, to name just a few. He is now regarded as one of the most respected drummers in the UK, and he also maintains a strong connection with Belgium, where he lived in his younger years. He is now reuniting a quartet with accomplices well known on our musical scene, much to our delight. More info

Late Jam With Ricardo Rosas - The Hang! vendredi 5 juin - 23:00 Ricardo Rosas (s) and guests The late hang! Another way to party  More info

LORD ROCHESTER - BRBC samedi 6 juin - 20:30 Russ Wilkins (guitar, vocals), Saskia Holling (bass), Lois Tozer (drums) Lord Rochester, the stage name of Russ Wilkins — known from bands such as The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, Gruff Men, Len Bright Combo and The Wildebeests — returns with his unmistakable brand of stripped-down, rhythm-driven rock ’n’ roll. Drawing inspiration from the maraca-powered shuffle of artists like Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and Jimmy Reed, Lord Rochester embraces the raw simplicity of sound and song, delivering a gritty, lo-fi take on rock ’n’ roll that stays close to its roots. As Glasgow Night Out once described it: “perfectly pitched rock ’n’ roll at its purest, unadulterated, tartan sports jacket wearing, lo-fi, fiddletastic best.” The band makes a welcome return to BRBC after recent tours across Australia, New Zealand, Germany and Spain, and following the release of their third album, “Mess Around.” The evening will open with Midnight Mary, the BRBC house band.

Late Jam Blues - BLUES samedi 6 juin - 23:30 Roman (MC) Once a month, after the Brussels Rhythm’n Blues Club's double-bill evenings, Roman opens our late session to welcome blues and rhythm’n blues musicians until the early morning. More info

Nostalgia In Grand-Place : Pat Metheny - Tribute dimanche 7 juin - 16:00 Alain Pierre (guit) ; Antoine Pierre (drums) ; Victor Foulon (b) As part of the Nostalgia in Grand Place series, Alain Pierre pays tribute to one of the most distinctive and influential voices in the history of contemporary jazz: Pat Metheny. Emerging in the 1970s as an exceptional guitarist and composer, Pat Metheny profoundly reshaped the language of modern jazz. Through his instantly recognisable sound, his lyrical sense of melody, his harmonic explorations and his taste for open forms, he has built a musical universe where lyricism, virtuosity, electric textures, American folk, Brazilian music and improvisation all meet. With pieces that have become emblematic, such as Phase Dance, Bright Size Life, Are You Going with Me? and Last Train Home, Pat Metheny forged a unique path — a music that is at once luminous, expansive and deeply sensitive, where sophisticated writing meets the spirit of travel, the freedom of jazz and a form of sonic poetry that is immediately recognisable. Through this programme, Alain Pierre explores that legacy with both respect and freedom, reconnecting with the spirit of a music in which space, breath, listening and storytelling hold a central place. A return to a jazz of landscapes, movement and emotion. More info

The New-Yorkers - Crooner dimanche 7 juin - 19:00 Tom McGuire (voc) ; Mathieu De Wit (p) ; Lieven Venken (dr) ; Ramon Van Merkenstein (b) Every last Sunday of the month, Tom McGuire takes you into the world of the great crooners, from Sinatra to those who followed in his footsteps. A true specialist of the genre, this American singer has spent many years performing on stages around the world, keeping this timeless repertoire alive. Straight-ahead, effective jazz that transports you right into the heart of the swing era. Order a cocktail, settle in beneath the century-old walls of our club, and let yourself be carried away by the magic. More info
