The Atomium invites you to discover its "Atomium Jazz" concerts in the magnificent Ilya Prigogine room, a lateral sphere with a breathtaking view of Brussels!
This third edition will show the group «Defoort & Da Costa Quartet ». Bart Defoort and Victor Da Costa have been playing together very regularly for 20 years. With their quartet, they bring a mix of personal arrangements of "gems" from the rich jazz repertoire complemented by their own compositions. The atmosphere of the golden age of "bop" and "modal" jazz from the 1950s-60s is never far away, without falling into a form of nostalgia. Together with Victor Foulon and Armando Luongo, one of the best rhythm sections of the new generation of jazz musicians, they have formed a tight quartet since 2018, with a very own warm, swinging and exciting sound. The musical interaction and communication between these 4 top musicians is very creative and natural.... A great pleasure to listen to and experience.
