"MENT Ljubljana is a three-day (30 Jan. – 1 Feb. 2019) showcase festival of fresh artists from all of Europe and beyond, during which around 70 acts perform at different venues in Ljubljana. The international conference focuses on the music industry and creativity." Sounds good, isn't it? That's why Martin & Maaike are heading there this week! And they would love to meet you! Let us know if you'll be there, so that we can set up a meeting. We have a lot of interesting new projects & music to present to you (ESINAM, Echoes of Zoo, Next.Ape, N∆BOU, Jean-Paul Estiévenart Quintet, ...). Don't miss out! We look forward to seeing you there!
Next.Ape is drummer and composer Antoine Pierre’s newest project, in which he joins forces with Veronika Harcsa (vocals), Lorenzo Di Maio (guitar) and Jérôme Klein (keys).

Glasgow and the Celtic Connections Festival are waiting for them on 18/01, as well as Vortex for a final concert in London on January 19th. The trio, whose music oscillates between a deep love for tradition and a constant quest for modernity, will undoubtedly seduce the English audience, whom we hope to be numerous! 16.01 The Jazz Bar, Edinburgh 17.01 Jazz At The B
Echoes of Zoo - the latest project of saxophone player Nathan Daems with fellows Bart Vervaeck (guitar), Lieven Van Pée (electric bass) & Falk Schrauwen (drums) - will proudly present their debut EP 'First Provocations' in premiere during the Brussels Jazz Festival this Saturday (12/01). Come check it out! Can't be there? They will present the EP later on this month during Kraakpand in Handelsbeurs Concertzaal in Ghent (26/01) and next month at the Jazz Bar during Thrill Festival in Edinburgh (09.02).
