Pascal Mohy / Ben Slujys Quintet • The Best of Belgian Jazz
Pascal Mohy (p) ; Ben Sluijs (as) ; Jean-Paul Estievenart (tr) ; Lennart Heyndels (b) ; Antoine Pierre (dr)
A discreet pianist yet admired by all who have crossed his path, Pascal Mohy impresses with the fluidity of his phrasing and a touch of feline delicacy. Aside from a highly acclaimed trio album released in 2008, he has long been more present as a sideman than as a leader (Mélanie Di Biasio, Steve and Greg Houben, Stéphane Belmondo, among others). Today, he presents a new quintet with long-time collaborator Ben Sluijs, sharing a taste for fluid and organic jazz.
To complete the group, a line-up of major figures from the Belgian jazz scene: Sam Gerstmans, Antoine Pierre and Jean-Paul Estiévenart. A beautiful evening ahead.
