Kuan Yu Quartet • INTERNATIONAL NEW TALENT
Jerry Kuan (p) ; Hyung Jin Lee (ts) ; Emanuel Van Mieghem (b) ; Marius Loer (dr)
At Toots, one of our greatest pleasures is giving a stage to the exceptional young talent we discover week after week during our legendary jam sessions.
Jerry Kuan is exactly that kind of musician. The Taiwanese pianist has been turning heads since the moment he first sat down at our keyboard, and we are delighted to give him the spotlight he deserves. He joins forces with Korean tenor saxophonist Hyung Jin Ee — a familiar face on the Brussels scene — for an evening of elastic bop, asymmetric rhythms and boldly original compositions that push jazz into thrilling new territory.
Fresh, fearless and utterly compelling. This one is not to be missed.
