Julien Tassin Solo + Jordi Grognard Trio

Julien Tassin Solo

Julien Tassin, acoustic guitar

With a unique and unmistakable approach to music and his instrument, Julien Tassin is a one-of-a- kind guitar player. Using non-traditional techniques and original tunings, he creates music that combines elements of blues, jazz, classical, Oriental and African music. The result is music born out of openness and freedom. Stubbornly he repeats musical ideas until the tension reaches a boiling point, the lyricism of his melodies becomes inevitable, and the rawness of the sound takes center stage.

Jordi Grognard Trio

Jordi Grognard, tenor saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet, flute / Manolo Cabras, double bass / Gaspard Sicx, drums

These three cats (or monkeys ?) have been playing together for quite a few years–mainly in & around Brussels’s music venues – allowing the music to evolve from (and back to) jazz standards, Monk & Ornette Coleman originals to own personal compositions. Generous, free-spirited and contagious music! It is music that drives on freedom, energy & lyriscism, yet spiritual and delicate.
