My first gig was in 1985 with the Belgian Radio and Television Jazz Orchestra. Over the years I've performed in clubs and at festivals in Europe and in many other places in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. I shared the stage and recording studio with artists such as Toots Thielemans, Joe Lovano, Wayne Shorter, Norma Winstone, Kenny Wheeler, Billy Hart, Paolo Fresu, Marc Ducret, Michel Herr, Félix Simtaine, Bruno Castellucci, Michel Benita, Rita Marcotulli, Paul Van Kemenade, Nguyên Lê, Peter Hertmans, Pete McCann, Lindsey Horner and many many others, every one of significant importance in my evolution as a musician. Drummer Dré Pallemaerts, bass player Michel Hatzigeorgiou, and keyboard wizard Jozef Dumoulin, are the members of my quartet “Let’s Call Ed”. We started out as a trio in the late eighties, Jozef joined the band about 15 years later. As a composer/arranger, I wrote music for big band (The Brussels Jazz Orchestra), hiphop (Krewcial, DJ Grazzhoppa’s DJ Big Band), soul (Moiano), pop (Lalalover), and for chamber orchestra in a project with the Belgian rock band Venus. From 2002 to 2005, I collaborated with the Canadian choreographer David Pressault on several of his projects, creating electronic music, and music for solo saxophone and live electronics. Furthermore, I’ve composed music for film and TV. The documentaries “Traces/Empreintes de femmes” and “En attendant les hommes”, both by Katy Lena Ndiaye (Neon Rouge), received several international awards.
