Alex Koo's Kimono Garden

Adventurous groove, neo-soul, and jazz

Musical jack-of-all-trades Alex Koo – hailed by Trouw as “on a par with the likes of Keith Jarrett” and whose Trio was included by both Downbeat and De Standaard in their lists of the best albums of 2025 – is taking a bold new step with his brand-new live project, Kimono Garden.

Four leading voices from the Belgian music scene are joining forces in a universe of groove and timbres. Expect an organic blend of jazz, neo-soul, electronic music, ambient and future beats – a soundscape that is both playful and compelling, and which leaves the traditional jazz stage far behind. Influences drift in from the realms of Flying Lotus, Hiatus Kaiyote, Erykah Badu, Björk and Thom Yorke, enhanced by a generous dose of experimentation, improvisation and pure stage energy.µ
