The MotorMusic Studios in Mechelen, Belgium, attract many great musicians to the city. A wide variety of visiting international jazz musicians share their art of making jazz music with us in the DJAZZ series ‘Belgium Sessions’. In these sessions, some of Europe’s finest musicians perform their own, original music. This MotorMusic Jazz Sessions episode features the Dutch Jasper Somsen with his trio. Their dig into free form improvisations results in short suites that borrow basic elements from the Great American Songbook. On stage, the poetic melodies float over the soft breeze of Andre Ceccarelli's subtle drumming, which gives the perfect texture for Somsen's deep and dark bass sound combined with Jean-Michel Pilc's (piano) impressive sense of dynamics.
