Tribute to Fats Waller & Louis Armstrong Bruce Ellison (vocal)Patrick Louis
(guitar-vocal)Druss Lecomte (piano-vocal)Guillaume Durieux (double
bass-vocal) Bruce Ellison began as a mime and voice-over artist for American
television, as well as in musicals. In 1981, he arrived in Paris and joined the
Marceau mime school. Founder with Michel Carcan of the Théâtre de la Mandragore,
he also lends his voice to a number of advertising campaigns as well as
children’s programs. He is also the lead singer of the rock band PPZ30. He is
the director and actor of the strange Mister Knight. With The Jellodies he
proves to be an excellent singer in the color and antics of Thomas Fats Waller
and the sung Jazz of Louis Armstrong The Jellodies is a group inspired by the
famous trio: Art Tatum-Charlie Christian-Ray Brown:Pat Louis (guitar and vocals)
who moves from blues to jazz repertoire with a playing marked in particular by
Freddie Green, Tiny Grimes and the great Charlie Christian; Druss Lecomte (piano
and vocals) whose colorful playing will remind you of the swing of Count Basie
and Nat King Cole, the stride of Thomas “Fats” Waller, James P. Johnson, the
humor of Erroll Garner, the playing of ‘Art Tatum. He opened for Fats Domino and
Ray Charles. He has a long career as a jazz, blues, ragtime, stride piano, swing
and boogie woogie pianist. At his first concert, at the Os à Moelle in Brussels,
he was only…17 years old; Guillaume Durieux (double bass and vocals), the
youngest of the trio, already has superb technique and very high level slap. The
Jellodies is the swing and jive of the Nat King Cole Trio, Count Basie’s rhythm
section but also Willie Dixon’s Big Three Trio, all this for our greatest
happiness, “groove” wickedly!.. . The alchemy that results from the meeting
between Bruce Ellison and The Jellodies is absolutely magical. VIDEO LINK :

Nicolas Kummert 'résonances + Kau Trio. // Brussels Jazz Weekend Etterbeek
Description
Brussels Jazz Weekend: dat betekent aperitieven met twee topconcerten op het Van Meyelplein in Etterbeek.
17:00 Nicolas Kummert 'Résonances'
18:30 KAU Trio.
Nicolas Kummert 'Résonances'
Nicolas Kummert: sax / stem & elektronica
Joel Rabesolo: gitaar
Benjamin Sauzereau: gitaar
Angelo Moustapha: percussie & drums
Muziek is voor Nicolas vooral een vorm van weerklank, van 'résonance', bij de andere artiesten op het podium en bij het publiek. Het maakt het mogelijk om emoties op een zeer directe manier te delen, terwijl de ander de mogelijkheid krijgt om zijn eigen emoties te betrekken. Met deze internationale groep bestaande uit een Belg, een Fransman, een Beninees en een Malagasi, zoekt hij vooral deze weerklank, dit grenzeloze delen...
De toevoeging van elektronica zorgt voor een extra niveau van expressiviteit en opent de deur naar mysterieuze sferen door harmonieus samen te smelten met de akoestische geluiden van de band.
KAU TRIO.
KAU trio. is an instrumental project based in Brussels
consisting of André Breidlid (drums), Matteo Genovese (bass) &
Jan Janzen (keys). Representing various European backgrounds,
their coming-together is in the spirit of the city they grew up
in.
Taking inspiration from jazz, they create a head-bobbing
atmosphere using bassy beats and catchy melodies. By
implementing acoustic instruments, the trio stays true to an
organic and rich sound, granting themselves the liberty for
improvisation & spontaneous happenings. Influenced by artists
like BADBADNOTGOOD & Christian Scott, their music is original
and audacious.
After falling into the ears of tastemaker Lefto, the band was
invited on Kiosk Radio & aired on WORLDWIDE FM. The band was
invited in February 2021 on BRUZZ to play a set for the Week
van de Belgische Muziek. After releasing their first beat tape
in October 2020, they have been described as a promising
upcoming nu-jazz band in Belgium. The three KAUs continue their
journey with a second release by Fall 2021.
