BASTARDS

Born of the countless, tumultuous and unlawful love affairs that jazz had with all the music in the world …

Bastard music as a manifesto, the lyrical as a common denominator, the interlaced interplay as the starting point.

Laughing Bastards stands for the alchemy between the youngest generation from the b(l)ooming Ghent jazz and impro scene, and the experience and hunger for innovation of an old hand in the profession. Together they proclaim their love for the jazz tradition.

Michel Mast: tenor sax
Eline Duerinck: cello
Cyrille Obermüller: double bass
Marcos Della Rocha: drums
