Enrico Pieranunzi Trio – Papyruszaal 8:00 pm

“The most lyrically inventive of contemporary pianists” - Stuart Broomer - All About Jazz,  February 2010

This Italian pianist knows exactly how to tell us his message. He sounds great, playing subtle lines and porcelain chords. He can swing, crispy and surely. But in those tempos, he remains his lyrical self. His music sings. With these qualities he has breathed new life into contemporary jazz. Along Keith Jarret and Chick Corea, he is one of the greatest jazz pianists of his generation.

Enrico Pieranunzi (1949) is a gifted classical and jazz pianist. His concerts often have a varied repertoire with music of composers like J.S. Bach, Sting, Wayne Shorter, Claude Debussy and Ennio Morricone. Accompanied by two wonderful Belgian musicians, he will bring you in a state of wonder and serenity: remember the name – get lost in the music.

Dianne Reeves – Papyruszaal 10:00 pm
Grammy Awards 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006

Blue Note recording artist Dianne Reeves is the pre-eminent jazz vocalist in the world today. As a result of her virtuosity, improvisational prowess and unique jazz and R&B stylings, she was awarded the Grammy for Best Vocal Performance for four consecutive recordings – a Grammy first in any vocal category. The 2006 Grammy was for her magnificent sound track of the movie ‘Good Night and Good Luck’ with George Clooney. In 2011 she won the Concertgebouw Jazz Award in Amsterdam.

She is a natural story teller, with a timing and phrasing that brings new insights to everything she sings. Het quartet consists of  excellent teamplayers, who will certainly contribute to the standing ovations, that will accompany Dianne Reeves when she leaves the stage.

Leppinski 2– Edmond Hustinxzaal 9:15 and 11:30 pm

Since 2009 vocalist Agnes Lepp (Germany 1985) and Filip Wisniewski (Poland 1982) create a surprising repertoire that sometimes witnesses fragile and delicate harmonies, but astonishes the audience at other moments because of their incredible energy and power. They present their own compositions full of variation, from complex and catchy to simple and honest.
In September 2011 they won the third prize at Europe’s most important jazz competition for young talent, Jazz Hoeilaart. During this festival they present their first CD.
