Trombone Ensemble Nabou Claerhout

5 trombonists, guitar, double bass and drums: it is a palette of sound that Nabou Claerhout could only dream of for a long time. 2 years ago, the dream came true at the Gent Jazz festival. The group's first album already evoked comparisons with the dynamics of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and the infectious funk of Fred Wesley, one of Nabou's earliest idols. Of course, it is all about the richly varied music of Nabou herself, but also about the players that the Belgian trombonist has brought together for her ensemble.

'The goal is to treat you to warm, soft, carrying parts, and then discover the spicy and resolute character of the trombone', says Nabou. 'I have tried to make room for each individual. And of course there is also a starring role for the rhythm section.' She has previously played on the Bimhuis stage with her band N���BOU. Her Trombone Ensemble has a completely different line-up, with contemporaries from Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom.

'Very contemporary, quite inventive' (Downbeat).
