Integrated into the programme of Lotto Brussels Jazz Weekend, “Jazz Up! : Belgian Focus” will take place on Friday 24 & Saturday 25 May 2024 in Brussels at the Grand Hospice as a warm-up for the next edition of Jazz Up! Europe, held in Nancy.
Aimed at highlighting the Belgian jazz up! scene, which has been booming for several years now (ECHT!, Tukan, Lander & Adriaan), it will bring together local and international professionals bridging the gap between jazz and clubbing. The event will focus on both consolidating a ‘jazz up’ network and discovering the local scene. The key words: showcases, talks, networking moments and access to the festival for 2 days.

ECHT!, 2022 WINNERS
ECHT! is a band from Brussels that lies somewhere between electronic music, jazz and bass music. Since 2017, they have crystallized their innovative style and sound on the Brussels scene. Supported from the beginning by most of the international tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson, Lefto, or the label Teklife, they quickly climbed the ladder of the Jazz Fusion/Electronic scene by performing in festivals like North Sea Jazz, Jazz Midlheim, Eurosonic etc.
The release of their first album in 2021, INWANE, was a turning point in their development, announcing a long tour in most key places in Belgium and abroad. They released on June 3rd a limited edition of a single with 2 covers of Sophie and Objekt and are currently working on a new album.
