GingerBlackGinger

Bass player Yannick Peeters is a household name in the Belgian jazz scene, but while she previously always appeared in other people’s projects, the moment has come to launch her very own project, with a sound that is as daring as it is authentic.

Peeters was in search of a more spiritual sound that could take on different forms and strong contrasts, with elements from jazz, rock, avant-garde and improv. Rawness, fragility, lyricism, originality and integrity must be able to coexist. The musicians she invited are all personalities with a vision; creative, stubborn artists that won’t settle for mediocrity. Frans Van Isacker and guitarist Frederik Leroux are among the most idiosyncratic representatives of Belgian jazz and improvisation. Master drummer Tom Rainey is a player swerving between avant-garde notions and mainstream sensibility. The band released its debut album GingerBlackGinger in January of 2024 on the Belgian W.E.R.F. Records. It is a showcase for their unique sound, combining extensive soundscapes, brief bursts of energy, and mesmerizing grooves. The band will perform with Samuel Ber on drums as a replacement for Tom Rainey.
