Young curators program: KAU
KAU is part of the Young Curators Program. That program offers nine young jazz enthusiasts—Rutger Mathys, Stan Maris, Kobe Gregoir, Nele Uyttendaele, Ferre Heyvaerts, Ewout Janssens, Anton Robberechts, Warre Vanhoutte and Joris Vanschoren—the opportunity to develop their curatorial skills and share their vision with the European music sector.The curators selected three promising young Belgian jazz acts whom they believe deserve international recognition. During this process, they were mindful of the platform they were shaping and chose to create a program featuring artists with little to no professional support, but who possess international potential.
ABOUT THE THIRD ARTIST:
KAU is an instrumental music project based in Brussels. Representing various European backgrounds, their meeting happened in the spirit of the city they grew up in. Drawing inspiration from jazz, they create a head-bobbing atmosphere using broken beats and heavy grooves, while leaving ample space for improvisation. Line-up: Jan Janzen (keys/synths), Matteo Genovese (bass) and André Breidlid (drums).
Free entrance, open to the public, accessible without tickets. RSVP here. Supported by Gent Jazz.
