For the seventh edition of BRAND! local people are once again at the helm. Central guests Lara Rosseel and Vitja Pauwels have quickly established themselves as key players in Belgian jazz. A large part of the festival is built around these musicians, whose paths cross regularly.

Alexander Hawkins & Tomeka Reid
Pianist Alexander Hawkins and Tomeka Reid (MacArthur Fellowship 2022) are among the top artists of their generation. They compose and improvise on the shoulders of their predecessors - Roscoe Mitchell, Anthony Braxton and Louis Moholo-Moholo, among others - to explore new heights from there. Interaction at the international cutting edge.
Gard Nilssen Acoustic Unity
Versatile drummer Gard Nilssen founded a sax trio a few years ago that plays astonishingly tight freebop that will show you every corner of the room, deals generously with freedom and makes you scrape the covers off the seats. Volatile, earthy and unstoppable. Especially for BRAND!, the trio expands into a quartet with reed player Kjetil Møster. Fireworks guaranteed.
