Acclaimed by the press and recognized by its peers, the big band has released several albums on the labels Igloo, Hypnote Records, and soon on Step By Records. Supporting a monthly residency in a club (the Jazz Station) for nearly twenty years had never been seen before in Belgium. But there is more than that: numerous festivals and external venues call upon the big band, which takes the opportunity to collaborate with exceptional guests. De Dinant in Dubai, they crossed swords with, among others, Kenny Werner, Grégoire Maret, Jason Rebello, Emil Viklicky, David Linx,… It would even seem that the group, reaching its artistic maturity, is only at the genesis of its history. Indeed, their sound is now immediately identifiable, due not only to the unique alchemy between musicians considered the cream of the European crop, but also thanks to the touch of their arrangers. For do not be mistaken: even if this big band gives the impression of Belgian-style lightness, sophistication and deep emotions are always inherent in their music. Tireless, the Jazz Station Big Band has not finished making people talk about it.
