I am reminded of the time my friend, meaning to order the cocktail Frilly Tutu – instead asked for a Tutti Frutti and got a very odd look. This was because he couldn’t quite get the name right.
Much the same is probably of the Jazz Festival Marni Flagey. So-called because it takes place at the Flagey cultural centre and the Marni theatre, it is a difficult name to remember. Because of this, there is an enormous contrast between the name and the quality of the music.
What I mean by this, is the music is truly memorable because it is world-class. Obviously, there is top-quality jazz – Alexandre Cavaliere on his violin together with his band is just one example – but, particularly for a jazz festival what is notable is the other genres of music on offer. With bepop, flamenco, fusion as well as other genres, there truly is something to satisfy anyone regardless of their personal musical tastes
Taking place from the 19th until the 30th of January, in Brussels – a city famed for its jazz music – the Jazz Festival Marni Flagey promises to be an eleven day extravaganza. With a trip to Brussels, you can be part of it.
