Peter Hertmans Quartet • The Best of Belgian Jazz
Peter Hertmans (g) ; Erwin Vann (s) ; Sal La Rocca (b) ; Daniel Jonkers (dr)
Peter Hertmans is one of the most significant figures in Belgian jazz guitar. Having collaborated with virtually every musician in the country, he began his career in the early 1980s and, forty years on, continues to perform and record with the same passion and a melodic sensibility that remains truly rare.
With an impressive discography to his name — including several albums recorded alongside drummer Billy Hart, no less — he is also widely known for having taught for over 30 years at the Brussels Conservatoire and for having coordinated the jazz department of the prestigious Lemmens Instituut in Leuven.
Today he takes to our stage accompanied by two long-standing musical companions and a young Dutch drummer whose talent flourishes across a remarkable range of projects. One of Europe's great jazz voices, at work.
