Aleph Quintet + Boris Schmidt Band

This double concert is a collaboration between Les Lundis d’Hortense and Jazz9, as part of the 50th anniversary of the Les Lundis d’Hortense association and the Jazz Tour 26-27 of Aleph Quintet. The Brussels-based band Aleph Quintet draws on the musical traditions of Afrique du Nord, the language of contemporary jazz, and the power of improvisation to create a singular, rooted, and constantly evolving sound. Its five musicians with diverse backgrounds develop a music of passage, where captivating rhythms, modern harmonies, and a quest for authenticity intersect. Their art is that of connection: between cultures, eras, and emotions. Following the success of their first album “Shapes of Silence”, widely acclaimed by critics, Aleph Quintet pushes the limits of its art with this new project.
