“Treasures of The American Songbook”Hetty Kate (Vocals), Maxime Moyaerts
(Piano),Victor Foulon (Double Bass) “When Hetty Kate takes the stage you can’t
help but notice. She has a stage presence only matched by the clarityof her
voice – couple this with her dedication to music that swings, and you have the
jazz musician’s singer.” – James Morrison Multi-Instrumentalist (AU) For these
intimate concerts, British/Australian jazz vocalist Hetty Kate has invited
celebrated musicians, pianist Maxime Moyaerts and bassist Victor Foulon to join
her. As the trio explores classics and curiosities from the swing, cool jazz and
bop eras you’ll discover the joys of the jazz trio, a simplicity allowing each
musician, and importantly, each song to shine. “Like Peggy Lee on a Vespa” Marc
Myers, Jazzwax Magazine (USA) Described as “the real deal” and “one of the best
swing singers on the scene today”, jazz singer Hetty Kate has been pursuing an
impressive international career for over a decade. From intimate clubs to the
most prestigious stages such as The Sydney Opera House, Hetty’s career has taken
her all over the world, from New Zealand to New York. With her clear voice and
remarkable intonation, reminiscent of the singers of the 1950s, Hetty Kate
swings the beautiful songs of the American Songbook – from Gershwin to Dameron,
from swing to bop. You’ll notice that Hetty “honors the composer” by staying
true to the message and melody of his composition, and uses improvisation in a
way that never interferes with the lyrics. It is this rare quality and a
compelling ease on stage that has attracted the attention of musicians and
audiences the world over. Over the course of her career, Hetty has released ten
critically acclaimed albums and performed at many festivals including the New
York Winter Jazz Festival (USA), the Sapporo Jazz Festival (Japan), the Prague
Proms (Czech Republic), the Melbourne, Sydney and Perth International Jazz
Festivals (Australia), the Cavell Leitch International Jazz Festival (New
Zealand), thePeniscola Jazz Festival (Spain), the Piacenza Jazz Festival
(Italy). Hetty also toured extensively with award-winning Australian jazz
musician James Morrison for many years, notably as the featured vocalist on his
symphonic concert (Europe/Asia/Australia) entitled “The A to Z of Jazz”. Join us
and enjoy a warm, entertaining and masterful evening of treasures from the
American Songbook. VIDEO LINK : http://www.youtube.com/hettykateTICKET: 18€

Description
********** English **********
These three cats have been playing together for quite a few years – in and around Brussels’s music venues – allowing the music to evolve from (and back to) jazz standards, Monk & Ornette Coleman originals to their own personal compositions.
Together they present an acoustic sound, natural, vibrating and alive. Using dynamics, registres and timbres, their flowing music goes south, opens up, creates layers and landscapes, flies away. It is music that drives on freedom, energy & lyricism, yet spiritual and delicate. Open your ears to the generous, free-spirited and contagious sounds of the Jordi Grognard Trio!
********** Français **********
Ce trio se plaît à jouer ensemble depuis de nombreuses années, se donnant le temps de développer un son de groupe et un mode de jeu libre. L’essentiel du répertoire consiste en compositions originales du leader. Cependant un original de Monk ou d’Ornette Coleman n’est jamais très loin…
L’optique du trio est de proposer un son résolument jazz, un concept acoustique qui sonne profond, naturel, vivant, vibrant. D’utiliser les dynamiques et les timbres pour mieux conduire la musique vers des histoires, des plages de liberté. Tenter d’aller à l’essence de cette musique, dans une démarche lyrique, franche et généreuse.
********** Nederlands **********
Dit trio heeft al heel wat jaren op de teller staan. Zo hebben de muzikanten gaandeweg een eigen groepssound en een vrije speelstijl kunnen ontwikkelen. De originele composities van de leader maken de kern van het repertoire uit. Toch is een original van Monk of Ornette Coleman nooit veraf …
Het trio kiest voor een sound die de jazz belichaamt, een akoestisch concept dat diep, natuurlijk, levendig en meeslepend klinkt. Jordi Grognard Trio maakt gebruik van de dynamieken en de klankkleuren om de muziek in de richting te sturen van verhalen en tracks die vrijheid ademen. Een zoektocht naar de essentie van deze muziek, op een lyrische, vrijmoedige en genereuze manier.
