Short description

Quintet of Christian Mendoza, seeking the perfect balance between composition and improvisation.

Biography

With the Christian Mendoza Group he is drawing on jazz to pop, over world music, cross-over, contemporary classical, free improv, through to music- and dance theatre.

This quintet's concerts can take on many forms: minimal landscapes, hectic chaos, complex rhythms and the pure simplicity of an uncomplicated song. Mendoza writes new pieces to measure, seeking the perfect balance between composition and improvisation. With its impressive talent bank, Ben Sluijs, Joachim Badenhorst, Brice Soniano and Teun Verbruggen, the Christian Mendoza Group is an exciting thing to happen in Belgian jazz.
