About this concert
Sometimes we hold high hopes and great expectations, only to be caught off-guard by life’s unforeseen twists and turns. That is what guitarist Julien Tassin explores on Great Expectations. Ron Miles was slated to be Julien’s special guest for a performance at Bozar (Brussels), where he would have joined his Trio. Sadly, Miles passed away unexpectedly. Despite this tremendous loss, Tassin continued writing music for the project. He then invited American trumpet player Jason Palmer to join his trio.
The tremendous loss of Miles led to an album with most of the pieces composed in several movements, each reflecting a distinct mood and atmosphere. The surprising twists and turns in the music align with the overarching theme, while maintaining a cinematic undertone. The outcome is an exhilarating combination of blues, jazz and rock. The album was released in November of 2023 on W.E.R.F. & Igloo. Live, the music will be performed by Tassin and his trusted rhythm section - Nicolas Thys (bass), Dré Pallemaerts (drums) - with the American-Eritrean Hermon Mehari (trumpet). Expect a fresh and vibrant sound that showcases the quartet’s endless creativity.
