Gert-Jan Dreessen Quartet

We are thrilled to introduce you to one of the brightest talents of his generation, Gert-Jan Dreessen. In an astonishingly short amount of time, this young drummer has established himself as an artist to be reckoned with. He has already shared the stage with celebrated figures such as Joshua Redman, Jakob Bro, and Logan Richardson, showcasing his exceptional musical prowess from a very young age. Today, Dreessen leads his own band - an acoustic quartet featuring some of the most remarkable personalities of Belgian jazz.

Bram De Looze has emerged as one of the leading pianists of his generation, captivating audiences both as a solo artist and with ensembles like MiXMONK (alongside Robin Verheyen and Joey Baron). Jean-Paul Estiévenart navigates the world of Belgian jazz with agility and virtuosity, earning recognition as the most in-demand trumpeter of the past decade. Cyrille Obermüller, known for his work with HAST, the Bruno Vansina Quintet, and Nabou Claerhout's Trombone Ensemble, has quickly become the rhythmic backbone of numerous bands.

Together, these musicians possess the skill and charisma to elevate Dreessen's compositions, which feature captivating melodies and daring rhythmic twists, to new heights.

Flagey, JazzLab
