BORIS SCHMIDT BAND

LUXEMBOURG-BORN BASSIST BORIS SCHMIDT HAS ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS ONE OF THE DISTINCTIVE VOICES ON THE BELGIAN JAZZ SCENE. KNOWN FOR HIS VERSATILITY – FROM BAROQUE TO LATIN AMERICAN TRADITIONS – HE CREATES AS A LEADER A PERSONAL SOUND WORLD THAT IS LYRICAL, WARM AND DEEPLY EXPRESSIVE. FOLLOWING NOW (2018), HE RETURNS WITH HERE, AN ALBUM WITH A REMARKABLE STORY: AFTER THE STUDIO BURNED DOWN, THE ENTIRE PROJECT HAD TO BE RE-RECORDED MONTHS LATER. THIS ORDEAL ADDS A UNIQUE INTENSITY TO THE MUSIC. BETWEEN MELANCHOLIC BALLADS, LUMINOUS PASSAGES AND SOUTHERN FLAVOURS, SCHMIDT CONFIRMS HIS TALENT AS A COMPOSER WITH A VIBRANT ALBUM CARRIED BY AN EXCEPTIONAL BAND.
