Sal LA ROCCA quartet featuring
Steve HOUBEN (B) Thursday 21
May 20.30  Image © Jos L.Knaepen
Tonight is a time for a grand reunion, both human and musical. It was Steve Houben who encouraged Sal La Rocca to make his debut in jazz. Tonight, Salvatore’s own work will be in the spotlight, and Sal will be revealing a rarely seen facet of his stylish stage persona – the composer. His repertoire is well worth hearing, moving and lyrical, with the warm overtones of his native Sicily and the red-hot funk and rock ‘n roll of his Belgian youth. www.myspace.com/sallarocca

Sabin TODOROV trio + special guest

Sabin Todorov’s Balkan culture made his band one of the most unusual on the Belgian jazz scene of 2008. Sabin and Sal La Rocca share a love for Bulgarian songs, and the Belgian pianist’s clever idea of adapting the songs of his native country has blown away both the bass player and Dani Klein, the surprise guest at this concert, which will be filled with unexpected, never-before-played numbers. www.myspace.com/sabintodorov
