Briskey

Briskey is the musical child of Gert Keunen. The Briskey live-band is formed with experienced players like Bart Maris (trumpet, Flat Earth Society), Nicolas Roseeuw (sax, Dolfijntjes), Isolde Lasoen (drums, Daan), Tim Vandenbergh (double bass, Sukilove), Sara Gilis (keys, Motek) and Dorona Alberti (vocals, Gare Du Nord). They bring the music to life and add a strong new dimension as well as a vibrant jazz-feel to the music. The Briskey live-band played a number of important clubs and prestigious festivals in Belgium (Ancienne Belgique, Vooruit, Blue Note Festival), the Nederlands (North Sea Jazz), Italy (Arezzo Wave, RomaEuropa Festival) and France (Jazz Sous Les Pommiers). In 2007, a Japanese label even decides to put out their own Briskey compilation. By forming the Briskey Big Band in 2007 the music received its perfect interpretation. Gert Keunen arranged old and new Briskey-tracks for a 15-headed band (see Live At The Ancienne Belgique, 2008): a solid, contemporary big-band that has fire, strong rhythms and wild brass as its focal point. Not only is the Briskey Big Band the ultimate Briskey live experience, it is also a separate project that will continue to let itself be heard in the future.
