Vanessa Matthys Trio
De charismatic Belgian jazz singer Vanessa Matthys returns to Leeuwergem. After a previous passage that knew how to enthuse both audience and organization, she brings her international trio (BE/D) again, with Dominique Vantomme (piano) and Werner Lauscher (bass).
With her warm voice, natural stage presence, and strong sense of storytelling, she takes the audience into a musical world where vocal jazz is central. Intimate melodies and poetic stories effortlessly get company from virtuoso improvisations and adventurous interaction between the musicians. The music is rooted in the jazz tradition, but at the same time reaches for the contemporary sound worlds of Esbjörn Svensson Trio, Gretchen Parlato, and Kurt Elling.
Central is the highly acclaimed album The Secret Vault, which since its release has been presented during an extensive tour with more than twenty concerts in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. Own compositions, surprising reworkings of traditionals, and timeless songs get their own, contemporary jazz signature.
A concert full of atmosphere, stories, and musical adventure. Subdued and refined where necessary, powerful and immersive where possible. Music that not only touches the ears, but continues to resonate for a long time.
