More than 400 musicians play about 125 free concerts all over Brussels in a weekend! Yes dear, it's all free, for the second year in a row (mix of public subsidy and private sponsorship). Some big international names lined up, but the Brussels Jazz Marathon has always primarily been a showcase for Belgian jazz, which has an ever-growing international reputation. Either a packed club with an international audience or on a stage with Grand Place as a backdrop, the sensation is awesome.




There are four major open-air stages, and I choose St Catherine and Grand Place to enjoy maximum actions. It is about managing schedule actually, because this two location are close to each. Here comes my highlight. Yesterday was The Krazy Mess Groovers. Really oh-so-fun groove jazz band in retro-style outfits and somewhat choreography just like what boyband have. Then a cool funk Daniel Romeo Band really shaking jazz aficionados and tourist in Grand Place. The pictures above are Intrigo with Italian's Chicca Andriollo who throw a crystalclear-groove-catchy-vocal; and Marc Lelangue who bring Ray Charles songs on a rainy Brussels! Another groove wind was blowing thru Dominic Ntoumos So chilling, after the rain. After the outdoors, so many corners in town hosting smaller scale shows... You will not asking me where i went next, will you? Keep on jazzin'!
