Steiger / Tumi Mogorosi Quintet

“Bombastic jazz rooted in radical thought” – The Guardian

Spiritually charged jazz

Multi-award winning South African drummer Tumi Mogorosi (Shabaka and The Ancestors, The Wretched) is one of the most talked about voices in contemporary spiritual jazz.

After the haunting albums 'Project ELO' and 'Group Theory: Black Music', his third album returns to the essence of the classical jazz quintet. At the same time, he makes subtle connections to his earlier work with electronically manipulated vocal layers.

Steiger - Mowglowski’s First Take (albumrelease)

For about a decade, Steiger has been one of the most idiosyncratic bands on the Belgian jazz and improvisation scene. They expand the piano trio format with electronics, conceptual ideas and physical experiments.

Expected in October 2025, their fourth album deepens their musical dialogue and pushes the boundaries. The music exudes a zest for life with a touch of humour, while also embracing darkness. Sweetness contrasts with wildness.
