Erik Vermeulen Invites • BELGIAN JAZZ LEGEND
Erik Vermeulen (p) ; Géraud Portal (b) ; Marek Patrman (b)
Among the remarkable pool of jazz pianists in Belgium, there is one who is admired by all and who has taught almost everyone — both in the conservatories where he lectured and during summer workshops. His deep knowledge of harmony has opened up new worlds for countless musicians.
I am, of course, speaking of Erik Vermeulen.
We are delighted to present a series of Sunday evening concerts in which he invites various musicians to share two sets, allowing his all-too-discreet genius to unfold before your amazed eyes and attentive ears.
For this edition, he is joined by the brilliant French bassist Géraud Portal and his long-time partner, the hyper-creative and deeply musical Malek Patrman.
