Jazz after work : Paul Fox Trio feat. Maxime Bender (Concerts)

Le « Paul Fox Trio » est né d’une rencontre entre trois musiciens issus du Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles. Leur répertoire voyage entre le swing et le binaire; il comprend des compositions originales et explore également les univers de Avishai Cohen, Esbjörn Svensson, Brad Mehldau, Jaco Pastorius, Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea ou encore Wayne Shorter.

Le répertoire de ce trio bruxellois reflète l’esprit des trois jeunes musiciens – un souffle d’air frais, de dynamisme et de jeunesse.

Workshops with Oliver Stalon, Kris Duerinckx, Fred Delplancq, Marc Mangen, Stephan Pougin, André Kleenes, etc. made me discover my love towards Jazz. Soon after that, I was accepted at the Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music, where I got taught by Bruno Castellucci, Michel Hatzigeorgiou, Richard Rousselet, Phil Abraham, Jean-Louis Rassinfosse, Pirly Zurstrassen, Jean-Pol Danhier, Arnould Massart, Guy Cabay, etc. At the moment, I'm on Erasmus exchange at the "Musikhochschule Mannheim", where I have courses with Michael Küttner, Thomas van der Geld, José Cortijo, Joerg Reiter, Thomas Stabenow, Dietmar Mensinger, Jürgen Seefelder, Frank Kuruc, ...
