Oddbloke
Four distinct voices from the international jazz scene join forces in ODDBLOKE: pianist Kit Downes (UK), saxophonist Ben Van Gelder (NL), bassist Phil Donkin (UK) and drummer Antoine Pierre (BE). Each of them is an acclaimed band leader and composer with a unique musical vision, from Downes’ poetic virtuosity on ECM to Van Gelder’s lyrical and visual playing style. Donkin brings his powerful groove and versatility, while Pierre, a key figure in Belgian jazz, delivers bold and adventurous rhythms. Their shared sound walks a razor’s edge: jazz as a smoldering cocktail of finesse, experimentation and boundless imagination. A one-of-a-kind encounter between heavyweight creative minds.
