BRAND! 2021: DONDER & Sigbjørn Apeland + Thomas Strønen, Marthe Lea & Ayumi Tanaka
From 25 to 30 November, Mechelen will be the capital of the Norwegian jazz scene for five days. Arts center nona and Cultuurcentrum Mechelen made up an adventurous line-up that is a cross section of the best the Norwegian jazz world has to offer!
DONDER & Sigbjørn Apeland: Harrison Steingueldoir (piano), Stan Callewaert (double bass), Casper Van De Velde (drums) & Sigbjørn Apeland (harmonium)
Thomas Strønen (drums), Marthe Lea (clarinet, voice & percussion) & Ayumi Tanaka (piano)
DONDER & Sigbjørn Apeland
Minimalist piano trio Donder is among Belgium’s finest jazz bands. With their Norwegian guest, harmonium-expert Sigbjørn Apeland, they explore Flemish folk music by turning familiar and less familiar tunes into highly personal ruminations that are exploratory, intimate and strikingly original.
Thomas Strønen, Marthe Lea & Ayumi Tanaka
A trio that was championed by ECM-founder Manfred Eicher and that gives that label’s recognisable aesthetic a unique twist. The combination of percussion, piano and clarinet/vocals starts from improvisation yet recalls a wealth of influences - classical, folk, jazz - in an intimate chamber format. Mysterious, open-ended and something to immerse yourself in.
