About Guillaume Vierset
Guillaume began playing guitar at the age of 7 and studied at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels. He started his career as a band leader in 2013 with the group LG Jazz Collective, which brought together for 5 years very young Belgian talents, who are all at the head of a nice career today (Jean-Paul Es- tiévenart, Igor Gehenot, Antoine Pierre, Felix Zurstrassen, Alex Koo,...).
In 2015, he released his first album (‘New Feel’ on Igloo Records) at the helm of the LG Jazz Collective, which then became one of the most in-demand new jazz groups in the country. The album, written and arranged by the leader, was a frank success and was awarded an Octave de la Musique as “Best Jazz album”.
In 2016, Guillaume launched Harvest Group, whose debut album ‘Songwriter’ was nominated in the category “Best Jazz Album 2016” . A release from a deep writer, with nostalgic, intimate music at the borders of jazz and folk. Belgium’s leading newspaper Le Soir went as far as to say that “Guillaume Viers- et is the songwriter of Belgian jazz”.
Two years later, he released ‘Strange Deal’ (Igloo Records, 2018), LG’s second album. Acclaimed by Belgian and international critics, the group had grown in power, and became a real reference. “A fresh wind is blowing across the Belgian jazz landscape”, wrote La Capitale.
With Harvest, Guillaume Vierset slipped into second gear in 2019. He went looking for new sounds, ho- rizons, and textures. Inspired by a trip to the American west, he released ‘Nacimiento Road’, a second album where folk accents are more clearly pronounced. He defined the music as, “modern jazz in folk for today...”.
Guillaume Vierset has become an indispensable figure in Belgium’s music scene. He stands out as a leader and sideman in several projects that have marked the musical scene in Belgium and beyond (Harvest Group, LG Jazz Collective, Thomas Champagne, Emily Allison, Bravo Big Band etc...). Guillaume is also very active on the pop/indie scene with notably Sharko, Sacha Toorop, Typh Barrow, Halehan... For him, the two facets of his career remain inseparable.
“A guitarist that is constantly searching, both in the way he improvises and composes. In love with standards and tradition, over time Guillaume has forged a fluid and modern phrasing, a sound, lyricism and a writing style that has become his trademark.”
Guillaume Vierset’s identity has been revealed over the years. At the same time nonchalant and poetic, lively and tonic, the Belgian guitarist poses, with a certain sagacity, a singular glance on the current world.
Guillaume likes to let himself be taken by the music that takes him between dream and reality. He likes to venture into uncultivated lands from which he manages to grow refined melodies with delicate perfumes.
