从古典音乐开始,到现在成为比利时爵士乐坛上的天之骄子,Michel Bisceglia一方面受到Keith Jarret, Bill Evans和LennieTristano的影响,一方面也没有遗忘孕育了他的古典音乐培养。Michel擅于运用叙事的手法,在似有还无的旋律以外蕴含更深层及更广泛的意义。来听听Michel充满浓厚个人风格的演奏, 你将会被Michel的真性情所感动, 而重新认识爵士乐的真身。

Pianist, composer and arranger Michel Bisceglia is one of the most important and most vigorous musicians from Belgium.

In 1996, at the age 26, he started his current trio that on their CD “About Stories” (RCA Victor) had the privilege to work with Randy Brecker and Bob Mintzer. Since 1997, he’s recorded only three CDs with his trio but has played in world famous jazz festivals such as the Rochester International Jazz festivals (USA), the Guimaraes Jazz Festival (Portugal) with Dewey Redman and the Ulverston Music Festival in UK. The three CDs are one after the other masterpieces; exercises in subtilized meditations on intangible melodies.

A typical characteristic of Michel Bisceglia is his working with artists outside the jazz world. In a coproduction with DJ Buscemi a new album was recorded with live ensemble. This album was released in 2008 on Blue Note Records.

建立与发展在美国的李晓川致力于给音乐注入新的生命,无论是在个性,以及音乐的发展方向上,他们都是一个引人注目的团体。其成员来自不同的国家,有着不同的文化背景, 所以他们的音乐被赋予了极其独特的声音。他们的音乐风格融合了传统爵士、古典、摇滚和一些流行音乐的元素。这样的融汇一直让听众对他们的音乐抱有期待和惊喜。

李晓川强调整个乐团的独特性,希望建立全新的音乐类型。音乐和智力的结合, 这种想法体现了一种微妙的结构和坚定的一致。从人类的经验来看, 在充满了狂喜的水沟总是依着幻化万变的生活道路伸延出去的, 而有时却平静地淌着眼泪, 颤动。在内心的平静和痛苦中,音乐与情感同行,去捕获一切形式的抽象、纯粹、原始的感觉。
