Gert-Jan Dreessen quartet, Jazz in an intimate club atmosphere

7 PM doors 8 PM concert in hall Platform, an interwar cinema, a hidden gem, in the heart of Antwerpen Zuid Gert-Jan Dreessen – drums, compositions Jean-Paul Estiévenart – trumpet Bram De Looze – piano Cyrille Obermüller – double bass Gert-Jan Dreessen Quartet – Angle of Incidence Het Gert-Jan Dreessen Quartet brings together four distinct voices from the European jazz scene. For this project, drummer and composer Gert-Jan Dreessen surrounds himself with Jean-Paul Estiévenart, Bram De Looze, and Cyrille Obermüller: musicians with a strong individual language, but above all with an exceptional sense of interaction. With his debut album Angle of Incidence, Dreessen presents his compositional voice in a clear and personal form. His music combines strong melodic lines, rhythmic layering, and open structures that leave room for risk, nuance, and collective interplay. Live, the quartet builds further on the album material with open forms, refined dynamics, and longer improvisations. The drums are not in the foreground as a virtuoso centerpiece, but steer the music through timing, texture, and subtle shifts in energy. Angle of Incidence was strongly received internationally, with airplay in Europe, the Verenigde Staten, Japan, and South America. The album was selected by Focus Knack as one of the Top 10 Jazz albums of 2025 and received the “Révélation 2026” label in France from Jazz Magazine.”
