GINGERBLACKGINGER

Tracklisting:

Bass player Yannick Peeters is no stranger to the Belgian jazz scene, but while she has always appeared in other

people’s projects before, the moment has now come for her to launch her very own project. A new band for which

she was able to gather a real dream team around her, with which she can go in search of music that throws out

unnecessary ballast and puts maximum effort into a sound that is as daring and authentic.

The bass player was in search of a new, more spiritual sound that can take different forms and contain strong

contrasts, with elements from jazz, rock, avant-garde and impro. Rawness, fragility, lyricism, originality and integrity

must be able to coexist. The musicians she invited are all personalities with a vision; creative stubborn people who

won’t settle for mediocrity.

Tom Rainey is a player who swerves between avant-garde notions and a mainstream sensibility and when he plays

the smell of invention is in the air”, says L.A. Times. He has performed at festivals and clubs throughout North America

and Europe with a wide range of artists, including John Abercrombie, Tim Berne, Jane Ira Bloom, Ted Curson…

Peeters also calls upon alto saxophonist Frans Van Isacker and guitarist Frederik Leroux, who can easily be counted

among the most idiosyncratic representatives of Belgian jazz and improvisation. These are restless spirits who keep

looking for new sounds, contexts and like-minded people, and are therefore the ideal partners in crime for Peeters.

The band recorded their debut album ‘GingerBlackGinger’ in September, which will be released on 12 January

2024 on the Belgian label W.E.R.F. records. This album is a showcase of their unique talent, combining extensive

soundscapes, brief bursts of energy, and mesmerizing grooves. Each track is carefully crafted, presenting a blend of

captivating sounds that take the listener on a journey.
