1h 10' Three visionary musicians craft a whispering dreamscape of jazz, percussion, and poetry
For what will be the seventh edition of Jazz Meets Symphonic from the Brussels Philharmonic, the multi-talented Dane Jakob Bro is coming to DE SINGEL.
Bro is renowned for his minimalist yet emotionally charged guitar playing. He is set to compose a new work for orchestra, chamber choir, and his own trio, featuring Mark Turner and percussionist Midori Takada. Turner stands out with his sophisticated harmonic and rhythmic musical language, while Takada contributes minimalist percussion and soundscapes. It is no surprise that Bro asked to add the Radio Choir to his musical building blocks for this project: ‘Much of my music is built around melodies. My compositions are almost like a song,’ he says. He draws inspiration from the vibrant and playful paintings of his compatriot Tal R. The collaboration with Opiate, an electronic project centred around melodic techno, adds a remarkable extra layer.
Bro thus joins an impressive roster of artists including Brad Mehldau, Avishai Cohen, Tigran Hamasyan, Uri Caine, Bill Frisell, and Craig Taborn.
