Vocals
Ellen Soens
As a little girl Ellen started with classical singing, arias and musicals. Now jazz is without a doubt her favorite genre, with Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald as great examples. Her favorite song is Honeysuckle Rose, not coincidentally the closing song of our current setlist!
Piano/Keys
Allan Jozy
In daily life we know him as Wim, but behind the piano he transforms into his musical alter ego Allan Jozy. Originally trained as a classical pianist, Wim eventually caught the jazz bug. His musical style is situated at the crossroads of neo-classical, jazz and cinematic. In addition to composing and producing music in his recording studio, he likes to live it up on stage with our quartet!
Bas
Reinout Naessens
Those sultry bass notes? They are played in our quartet by our bassist Reinout. He started his musical career with classical piano, but eventually had to surrender to his love for low tones and full sounds. With his bass guitar he really feels at home on stage, especially with the song 'So This is Love' in the version of Selah Sue.
Drums
Frank Naessens
Frank was still young when he first heard Dave Brubeck's 'Take 5', but was immediately fascinated by jazz and rhythm. He started out as a classically trained pianist, but eventually followed Brubeck's advice 'to Pick Up Sticks'. Because of his understated style, former drum teachers sometimes called him 'Subtle Frank'. Little chance that he will smash his drum skins, but very much chance that it will swing incredibly!
