Award-winning saxophonist, composer and bandleader Andy Middleton (USA) (Dave Holland, Ralph Towner, Maria Schneider, …) and Belgium’s most international guitarist Jeanfrançois Prins (Lee Konitz, Kenny Wheeler, Eddie Gomez, …) have met and performed together in New York City many years ago. Since then, they have regularly toured Europe together, performing their own powerful and lyrical melodies as well as some timeless gems from the standard repertoire. They are back at the Music Village with their interactive flow of fresh and positive energy, and an international group of exceptional musicians reunited for their European tour.

“Here is the sax player with the courage to pursue his own voice. Here is improvising and writing in its best form – really pretty amazing!” MICHAEL BRECKER
