Due to the Covid restrictions, the B-Jazz International Contest is cancelled also this year.

Instead, you can enjoy five exceptional online concerts that present the winners of the five most recent editions in combination with a young, promising Belgian jazz formation. Thus, we maintain the international aspect of B-Jazz and at the same time offer a stage to Belgian jazz talents. All sets were recorded live, but without an audience.

Florian Favre Trio (CH)

Winners of the B-Jazz International Contest 2016.

From the jury report:

“This band has a very high level of proficiency and professionalism. There was a great build up and contour of the set, ranging from very delicate to highly intense moments, within the jazz tradition, but always fresh and surprising, with never a dull moment. With great coherence and interplay between the band members, always finding a balance between seriousness and apparent pleasure, meanwhile connecting very well with the audience and therefor creating a great atmosphere.”

Support: Abstract INC. (BE)

This Brussels based sextet launched its EP in september 2020. They alternate fresh, contemporary jazz with groovy horns, distortion and fine guitar solos.
