The Jazz Station Big Band is releasing its brand new album ‘Moods’ on the Hypnote Records label. This long-awaited recording is causing a lot of hype because it has been aired on the Jazz Station for several months now. So it seemed an obvious choice to celebrate the official release. Original tracks by Steven Delannoye, François Decamps, Jean-Paul Estiévenart and Stéphane Mercier create different moods on this album without ever straying from the unique sound that results from the alchemy between the band’s strong personalities.

Since 2006, the Jazz Station Big Band is resident of the Jazz Station. Having become a real actor on the Belgian scene, the band has developed a real unique sound. This ensemble with the original repertoire also explores the treasures of jazz (Monk, Mingus, …). The JSBB is composed of fourteen outstanding soloists, among whom are its own arrangers.
“The Jazz Station Big Band is without a doubt one of the most promising big bands in Europe. The writing is ingenious and ambitious and the arrangements are deep and sensible. Their clever use of odd measures, metric changes and free improvisation keep the listener awake, but a great lyricism, simplicity and beauty are also in their work. There is no doubt a high quality album of an orchestra with unlimited potential” Antonio Sanchez (Pat Metheny drummer Group, and composer of the film soundtrack Birdman, Oscar for best film (2015) and César for best foreign film).
