Studio Athanor january 2004 concerts

10/01 Toine Thys's TAKE THE DUCK
Toine Thys - as
Daniel Noesig - tp
Philippe Aerts - b
Thorsten Grau - d

I heard this quartet's cool landscapes at Mons en Jazz and was most impressed by Noesig's attention to form.

16/10 Daniel Roméo white Card

Roméo's virtuosic and funky bass is always a show-stopper.

30/01 Cyrille Bugnon Quartet
Cyrille Bugnon - sax
Colin Vallon - p
Patrice Moret - b
Philippe Soirat - d

I don't know any of these musicians.

31/01 Marc Lelangue Blues Band
Marc Lelangue - g, voc
Kevin Mulligan - g
Daniel Roméo - el b
Patrick Dorcean - d

I don't follow the Belgian blues scene, but Lelangue seems to have a nice sense of humour, as the press release quips:

Born in Courtrai, West Flanders, in a maternity now transformed into a home for the aged, which will eventually permit him to end where he started

Every thursday @70s + Jam Session
Axel Dumont - el b
Pierre Gillet - fl
Laurent Doumont - ts
Jean-Michel Veneziano - g
John Mahy - kb
Bilou Doneux - d
Michel Seba - perc

When you just wanna dance to 70s jazz/funk/soul.
