music festival Angelnight blues & jazz

Eric Melaerts – Roland Van Campenhout – Jan Hautekiet Blues, Pop, Jazz & Rock Drie musicians with an impressive track record bring together a unique evening full of music, stories, and improvisation. Eric Melaerts, Roland Van Campenhout, and Jan Hautekiet have belonged to the most respected names in the Belgian music world for decades. Gitarist Eric Melaerts is a versatile musician who earned his stripes in both the jazz, pop, and studio world. He played with countless artists and is known for his warm guitar sound and musical finesse. Roland Van Campenhout is a living legend of the Belgian blues. With his raw voice, virtuoso guitar playing, and unique stage presence, he takes the audience on a musical journey along blues, folk, and roots music. Jan Hautekiet is a pianist, composer, and was a familiar voice on the radio for years. His musical background in jazz, pop, and improvisation ensures a playful and surprising dynamic on stage. Together, these three top musicians bring a concert full of atmosphere, improvisation, and musical craftsmanship. Expect a fascinating mix of blues, pop, jazz, and rock, interspersed with spontaneous interaction and musical freedom. No two concerts are the same — and that is exactly what makes this collaboration so special. A unique opportunity to see three strong personalities from the Belgian music world at work together. Carlo Nardozza & Philippe Thuriot Wanneer Carlo Nardozza (trumpet) and Philippe Thuriot (accordion) join their musical forces, you enter a special world of playfulness and melancholy. The duo previously brought their combination of unique muffled trumpet sounds and the versatile orchestral character of the accordion to Creti Senesi (the festival of Collegium Vocale in Tuscany), the Klarafestival Walden in Brussels, and the Chiesa di San Stae in Venice (during the Klara Cruise of 2024). From the first note they played together, there was an unmistakable musical chemistry. An infectious spark that also forms the starting point for this new collaboration, where Carlo and Philippe work with the orchestral music of the Argentine bandoneonist and composer Astor Piazzolla. Trumpet and accordion go in search of the essence of the music and in doing so show an admirable fragility. The friends invite you for a beautiful, melancholy journey that will leave you enchanted.
