Winter Ham Sessions

Avant-garde jazz & experimental jazz

For the second year running, Ha Concert, in collaboration with the Ham Sessions, is organising a winter edition. Each will present one of its own artists as part of a winter double bill. In May, the reverse will take place, with Ha appearing as a guest at Ham.

Mobilhome

Mobilhome is an initiative by the Brussels-based pianist and composer Camille-Alban Spreng. Under the somewhat kitsch motto: ‘music is where you feel at home’, the band explores the boundaries between subtlety and chaos, drawing eagerly on various traditions such as krautrock, post-punk and improvised music.

Mobilhome comprises some of the most unique voices on the Belgian music scene: Sam Comerford on tenor saxophone, who takes on the role of lead singer here, Vitja Pauwels on guitar, Lennart Heyndels on electric bass and Théo Lanau on drums.

Camille-Alban Spreng (keyboards), Sam Comerford (tenor saxophone/vocals), Vitja Pauwels (guitar), Lennart Heyndels (bass), Théo Lanau (drums).

For fans of bodies, ODIL, Dear_Uncle_Lennie and Limite.

Økse

ØKSE’s self-titled debut album is a bold, experimental jazz project featuring some of the most unique voices from the world of hip-hop.

The band itself consists of an international all-star line-up of avant-garde musicians. Although they have all already made a name for themselves as solo artists, as ØKSE they are collectively exploring new territory and pushing the boundaries of the genre. Four rappers accompany them on this journey, each more than capable of making these tracks their own: ELUCID and billy woods (also known as Armand Hammer), and their fellow Brooklynites Maassai and Cavalier.

Savannah Harris (saxophone), Mette Rasmussen (Danish saxophonist), Val Jeanty (electronica)   & Petter Eldh (bass, synths and sampler).
