Youngblood Brass Band & Brzzvll FREE OF CHARGE on a Saturday night, AB Main Hall, entry via the Steenstraat (next to the ABCafé) and as a part of the Brussels Jazz Marathon.

Youngblood Brass Band

Or, the Jazz Marathon 'all wound up.' The Bells and whistles and vocals and skins of this dizzying American collective, free-of-charge in the Main Hall.

Finally back in AB after seven years. With new single '20 Questions' out by early June (check out the video too) and by July the CD 'Pax Volumi' (on the Tru Thoughts label.)

More catchphrases? 'Globe trotting riot jazzers, progressive raw acoustic music, intense on-stage aesthetic, we will do what we must, thanks for listening...' And so they also support the educational Layered Arts Collective in hometown Madison, Wisconsin. Let them teach you a lesson. And throw a free party!

This colourful evening will be opened by BRZZVLL

You can also pronounce XL as 'Brazzaville'. We only have to quote SVS from De Standaard: 'Yet another fresh, innovative brass ensemble from Antwerp that fuses cultures? Yup, following on from Think Of One, The Internationals en Wawadadakwa, you now have BRZZVLL. Cosmic jazz-funk with a hip-hop feeling.' A third CD, 'Polemicals', just out and exceptionally well received. Not only by the Afrobeat Generation either. Welcome to Brxzl, Brzzvll!
