Born in Brussels but Parisian by adoption, and trained by the collaborations with a myriad of legendary American and European musicians, David Linx is, if not the greatest (quote from Jazz Magazine), at least, one of the most formidable jazz singers one is bound to hear and grace the stage. His first big international acclaim and breakthrough came with the Label Bleu released album Up Close back in 1995, with co-leader Diederik Wissels as well as the re-release of his album with the writer James Baldwin: A Lover's Question with Pierre Van Dormael, Steve Coleman, Toots Thielemans, Slide Hampton... It definitively renewed the landscape and the perception of vocal jazz by means of a totally new approach and has inspired an entire generation of singers and musicians. Amongst the numerous awards David Linx has received over the years we can mention the Octave d’Honneur in Belgium for his entire career, The Edison Jazz Award in Holland, best jazz vocal album of the year for Brel with the Brussels Jazz Orchestra and many wards in France: Voice of the Year at Les Victoires du Jazz 2019, Prix Charles Cros, Académie du Jazz. With one of his more recent recordings with the Brussels Jazz Orchestra, David Linx has won the bet of making even Jacques Brel swing. His many collaborations with the likes of Paolo Fresu, André Ceccarelli, Guillaume de Chassy and many others can be counted amongst the greatest successes of today’s jazz, modern, classy and, at times, even romantic.
