Jeroen Van Herzeele & Steephane Galland
Description
With this duo, Jeroen Van Herzeele (Ben Sluijs, Maak's Spirit, Toots Thielemans, Chris Joris, Philip Catherine) and Stephane Galland (Aka Moon, Ibrahim Maalouf, Tigran Hamasyan, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Malcolm Braff) are opening another chapter in their musical experimentation and improvisation.
Jeroen and Stephane crossed paths many times during their storied musical careers. One of their mutual projects was called Greetings from Mercury, a fusion group that mixed jazz, acid jazz, rock and rap. With their new duo, they continue to blend genres and soundscapes.
Using different settings and combinations of saxophone, modular synths, EWI, drums and electronics, Jeroen and Stephane experience live music in an interactive context. The multiple horns, overdubs, drums and electronics are the platform for exhilarating dialogues about themes and metrics. The result is both heady and groovy, music that can be analyzed or danced to.
The duo has played live in several venues, including Sounds Jazz Club in Brussels and Ghent Jazz Festival. In 2025, they will play festivals such as Jazz a Liege and Jazz Middelheim in Antwerp.
Their debut album is titled 'Songshan', after one of China's five sacred mountains, the centre of heaven and earth.
