September News - Back To The Scene
September is here once again, bringing with it an exciting array of news and activity in the music scene. Several concerts are lined up this month, promising to be quite the eventful experience. For this special occasion, I took the opportunity to have my beloved 1967 Selmer Mark VI saxophone completely refurbished by Nicolas Dory of ww-music.be, and I must say, it is playing and sounding better than ever! It's hard to believe that I can't even remember the last time I had it properly checked—most likely more than 25 years ago. Over the years, I’ve grown accustomed to all the many flaws, but now, everything is functioning so smoothly, making it an absolute joy to play!

As we welcome 2024, I wish you all good health, boundless love, and serene tranquility.
I am thrilled to announce the reunion of my trio with Michel Hatzigeorgiou and Dré Pallemaerts, which traces its origins back to 1989. Over the years, we have performed on numerous stages in Belgium and abroad, and our collaboration has yielded the albums ‘Some Sounds’ (1990) and ‘Eleven’ (1995).
Join us next Sunday, 28 January at the Café Des Arts in Antwerp. Our performance will feature a selection of original compositions that have stood the test of time, offering a nostalgic glimpse into our musical journey.
This is a rare opportunity to witness the synergy of our trio. Join us as we recreate the magic that has defined our collaboration and celebrate the timeless artistry of live music.
