About
What to expect
The evening features Eliana Glass (US) and the Brussels quartet Ola Tunji.
Eliana Glass was born in Australia, grew up in Seattle and now lives in New York; her debut album E has sober, minimal compositions and poetic lyrics, and her voice is compared to Billie Holiday's timbre.
Ola Tunji is a Brussels quartet around saxophonist Ornella Noulet, inspired by John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders and Albert Ayler and by the 1960s 'New Thing' movement.
The band name refers to Babatunde Olatunji, the Nigeria-born percussionist and friend of Coltrane who brought African rhythms to a wider jazz audience.
Their first release, Untitled EP, came out in 2024 and got airplay in Canada, the US, Japan, Belgium and France; in summer 2025 they won jury and audience prizes at Gent Jazz Talent and the Avignon Jazz Festival competition, and their debut album is due in October 2026 on W.E.R.F. Records.
