BRAND! DAY 2
On 16 November and from 23 to 26 November, nona will once again realise jazz festival BRAND! The eighth edition once again highlights the versatile and vibrant Belgian jazz, combining it with good people from abroad.
Gert-Jan Dreessen Quartet (19:00)
Up-and-coming talent Gert-Jan Dreessen has drummed his way into the spotlight alongside Joshua Redman and Jakob Bro, among others, and now presents his masterful quartet, which includes nothing but Belgian heavyweights: Bram De Looze, Jean-Paul Estiévenart and Cyrille Obermüller.

Chris Joris (20:30)
A year after a wonderful concert that was nothing less than a candid self-portrait, Belgian jazz legend Chris Joris returns to nona to present his new album Until the Darkness Fades. A dichotomy full of familiar and less familiar sounds, between romance and adventure. Intensely personal, free and elegant.
W.E.R.F. Records and JazzLab are celebrating their 30th anniversary together with three tours/albums for which they are joining forces. One is with percussionist Chris Joris, a veteran of Belgian jazz who is turning out with a haunting new project.

Trombone Ensemble Nabou Claerhout (22:00)
Dreaming out loud, that's what Nabou Claerhout is doing with this extraordinary project, for which she brings together five trombones. It is an ode to an instrument filled with warmth, spunk and the rhythmic twists and turns she has a patent on. An irresistible combination of energy and pure, unadulterated sound.
