+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ next concert MONDAY 19 NOVEMBER 21H TUEDAY 20 DECEMBER 21H extra info GIOVANNI BACELLA | Giovanni Barcella- drummer and poet. 'I try to de-compose the contemporary aesthetics I'm 'not convinced' all the time, So I try to de-compose, There's something going on with frankness, Huh, to me? (You were asking?) Their format seems rather an empty basket. Does that sound appealing to you?' Fred Van Hove | Fred Van Hove (born 1937) is a Belgian jazz musician and a pioneer of European free jazz. He is a pianist, accordionist, church organist, and carillonist, an improviser and a composer. He is known for his work in the 1960s and 70s with saxophonist Peter Brötzmann and drummer Han Bennink and for his subsequent work in various duos and as a solo artist. Born 1937 in Antwerp, Belgium; piano, accordion, church organ, composer. Fred Van Hove studied piano, theory and harmony at the Music Academy in Belgium and experimented with several jazz styles and dance music before making the transition to free improvisation with local musicians (Zinzen, Van De Ven and Wanders). He has been a professional free-lance musician since 1964. 1966 saw the beginning of Van Hove's collaboration with Peter Brötzmann, initially in quartet or larger groupings (eg Machine Gun), then stabilising in a trio format (with Han Bennink) for five to six years; in 1995 contact with Brötzmann was renewed when the two played a duo as part of the 'Pool' at the Free Music XXII in Antwerp in August. His first solo concerts were played at the Avant-garde festival Gravensteen, Ghent, in 1970 and Jazz Middleheim, in Antwerp in 1971. In 1972, working as a duo with Belgian sax player Cel Overberghe, he refused to play at the Middelheim festival as a result of a dispute over the grossly differential fees being paid to visiting American musicians on the one hand and European musicians on the other. This dispute led to the foundation of the musicians collective WIM vzw, Werkgroep Improviserende Musici, whose aim was to improve the situation of free music in Belgium. Fred Van Hove has been Chairman of WIM since then. From 1976, and in collaboration with, for example, De Andere Film Antwerp & Ghent, Dommelhof Neerpeilt (Belgium), and Filmhaus Berlin, he has provided solo accompaniment to silent movies, particularly experimental films of the 1920s (Griffiths, Porter, Murnau, Lang, Dreyer, among others) as well as comedies and animations. He has also performed regularly with duo partners who have included: Steve Lacy; Vinko Globokar; Lol Coxhill; Albert Mangelsdorf; Annick Nozati; Phil Wachsmann; André Goodbeek; Paul Van Gyseghem. From the end of the 1970s, Van Hove formed a number of groups utilising the initials MLA (Musica Libera Antverpiae) and MLB (Musica Libera Belgicae) or similar. The first MLA, formed in 1978, was a group of variable composition from a nucleus of seven musicians: three strings; three brass; piano. This undertook several tours and festivals (e.g. at Jazz Middelheim, and London). In 1979, MLA Blek comprised Marc Charig on trumpet and Radu Malfatti and Paul Rutherford on trombones and toured Italy. Formed in 1980, though recorded in 1982, the ML DD 4 consisted of Marc Charig, Phil Wachsmann and Günther 'Baby' Sommer on percussion and toured through several ex-DDR European countries. In 1983, Fred Van Hove was invited to Berlin by the DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) as artist in residence for six months, April to October. During this time he took the opportunity to play concerts with MLA, MLA Blek and ML DD 4, but also to play extensively with local musicians in a series of MLBB: Berliner Begegnungen or Berlin Encounters. In the mid-80s, Fred Van Hove undertook several tours of Japan playing solo and duos with a wide variety of musicians including percussionist Sabu Toyozumi, bass player Tetsu Saitoh; and US and European musicians such as: Ned Rothenberg; Douglas Ewart; Peter Kowald; Hans Reichel; Evan Parker; and Barry Guy. A three-day Van Hove festival was held at the concert hall Space Who, Saitama, celebrating its 5th anniversary. The Belgisch Pianokwartet was formed in 1984, four pianists at 2 grands, originally consisting of Walter Hus, Christian Leroy and Eddy Loozen, but more recently with Marilyn Crispell replacing Hus and the group name becoming 't Pianokwartet. The MLB III trio with André Goudbeek, saxophone, and Ivo Vander Borght, percussion was formed around the same time, recorded in 1988 and toured the former DDR (with trumpeter Andy Altenfeldert), Spain and the Netherlands. Since 1988 the trio with the French singer Annick Nozati and the German trombonist Johannes Bauer has recorded and toured and, from 1991, 't Nonet has performed, comprising: Marc Charig or Axel Dörner, trumpet; Annick Nozati, voice; Paul Rutherford and Johannes Bauer, trombones; Benoit Viredaz, tuba, Evan Parker or John Butcher and André Goudbeek, saxophones; and Ivo Vander Borght, percussion. Cooperation with other musicians has included Luc Houtkamp, Connie Bauer and Wolfgang Fuchs. Fred Van Hove has cooperated with poets and painters (the action painter W.J.C. Free) and held seminars and workshops on improvisation in Antwerp, Tilberg, Ghent, Amsterdam, in England and Germany and, since 1990, at Département d'Etudes Musicales, University Lille 3, France. In June 1996 the Belgium government conferred on Fred Van Hove the title of Cultural Ambassador of Flanders 1996, an award that included a grant for touring outside of Belgium. He has composed widely, for several WIM projects as well as for film and theatre; his compositions include: Recordings Brötzmann/van Hove/Bennink group Van Hove solo and in other groupings Joachim Badenhorst | Joachim started playing clarinet at age 7. He is also a member of the groups: Joachim performed at the Northseajazzfestival '03 in a bigband conducted by Kenny Werner. Participant: Summer 2007, in singer's Sacha Ley's album "Travelling Light" In New York he is currently working on a few new projects: International trio with trombonist Steve Swell and drummer Ziv Ravitz (new cd out on de W.E.R.F.). He is one third of Clarino: a trio that works on the new compositional language of trumpeter Thomas Heberer (new cd out on Cleanfeed) ; Baloni: a collaborative trio with Pascal Niggenkemper and Frantz Loriot will release their debut album `Fremdenzimmer` on Cleanfeed in November 2011. Joachim is a member of Tony Malaby`s new nonet`Novela` (new cd out on Cleanfeed). Mikko Innanen | Mikko Innanen is a Finnish saxophonist and composer born in Lapinjärvi, Finland in 1978. Having began to play the alto saxophone at the age of ten, he was introduced to jazz through his father's record collection and by his first saxophone teacher Bengt Ingelin. His early favorites included such jazz giants as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Duke Ellington, Johnny Griffin, Billie Holiday, Thelonious Monk and Ben Webster. In the last ten or so years, Innanen has established his position as one of the most innovative saxophonists and composers on the Finnish and the Nordic scene for jazz and improvised music. In 2000 he won the best soloist prize at the International Competition for Jazz Groups in Getxo, Spain and in 2001 he was awarded the first prize at the first Jukka Perko Saxophone Contest in Huittinen, Finland. In November 2008, he received the Finnish Jazz Federation's annual Yrjö Award as the Finnish jazz musician of the year. Arts Council of Finland awarded him a three-year grant for artistic work in 2009. He was nominated for the Nordic Council's Music Prize in 2011. To date, he has published 18 recordings as a leader or co-leader and more than ten as a sideman.

(La Resistenza)
Er is een vegetarische schotel voorhanden, voor net geen tien euro. De maaltijd werd aan mijn tafel opgebouwd als was het een gezellige stop motion film. Eerst bracht men een suikervat en een (leeg) theeglas, een halve minuut later gevolgd door een (volle) theekan. De vruchtenthee is er heel lekker, in La Resistenza. Even later kwam een bordje met twee sneden brood en een kleiner bordje met twee sneden boter. Net toen ik mijn thee uitschonk volgde een bord met mijn vegetarische balti en dat kwam met couscous, tomaat, courgette, en asperge-aren. Lekker, in een adequate portie. Edoch: muziek. Het was de derde keer op evenveel dagen dat Nate Wooley in België optrad; ik ben blij dat ik er toch minstens één optreden van heb kunnen meemaken. Geen Teun Verbruggen op de foto’s, verontschuldig ik mij even; Wooley bleek iets te breed om ook nog onze Belgische drummer te kunnen vastleggen –of ik zat gewoon net op de verkeerde stoel. “So, do you tune to 440 or…”, vroeg Andrew D’Angelo aan Marc Ducret toen hij hem aan zijn gitaar zag frutselen. En als Ducret hem tot antwoord expressieloos aanstaart, vult hij zelf aan: “…right.” “I’m just pretending man”, beweert Ducret, al zien we hem toch zijn oor tegen de snaren van zijn –nog even onversterkte– gitaar leggen om te checken of de toon wel goed zit. Teun Verbruggen heeft zijn drumparafernalia mee in een stevige zak van Delhaize; Andrew D’Angelo heeft een gele plastic zak om het mondstuk van zijn altsax gewikkeld. Mogelijks zit dat rietje er al op van tijdens de soundcheck (of nog langer), heeft het de toon die hij wilt, en houdt hij het zo vochtig, zodat hij straks meteen kan beginnen spelen. Al kan het net zo goed een andere reden zijn. Het begint chaotisch, het is wat zoeken naar structuur, maar uiteindelijk leidt Verbruggen vaak de rest in een stevig ritme. Het is luid (zelfs met oordopjes), maar genuanceerd, al is het zeker niet naar ieders smaak. Hoewel het naar tevredenheid gevuld was, in de kelder, glipte er na elk stuk steeds wel iemand weg. Zoals we dat in België gewoon zijn, applaudiseerde het publiek automatisch tussen de stukken. “This is some serious audience”, verklaarde Andrew D’Angelo, die duidelijk meer animo verwachtte. Hij flirte met de camera’s die het concert vastlegden, stripte uit zijn roze hemd tot hij in een (te) kort zwart t-shirt stond, en ging tegen het einde van het concert op de grond zitten omdat hij wat moe was, en het van daar gemakkelijker speelde. De extraverte D’Angelo stond in schril contrast met de bijna mystieke verschijning van Nate Wooley, die geheel in de muziek verdwenen was. Hij was totaal mee met alles wat er muzikaal rond hem aan het gebeuren was, maar speelde slechts spaarzaam en to the point mee. De verscheidenheid aan karakters tekende het concert, en maakte het ook boeiend –al moest u er bij dit soort muziek ook vaak zelf wel wat moeite voor doen. Zaterdag (19/11) komen De Beren Gieren naar La Resistenza, en maandavond (21/11) speelt Giovanni Barcella in duo met Bart Maris. De bescheiden bijdrage voor het concert is onmiddellijk omzetbaar in spijs en drank.
