Toots Jazz Club / Grand Place / Map

Adinda Hertmans (v) & Joachim Caffonnette (p) The magical voice of the young singer everyone is talking about!

Mathieu Najean (voc, sax) ; Timothé Lemaire (voc, trb) ; Guillaume Gillain (voc, guit) ; Andrew Bolton (voc, b) Taking its name from the famous New Orleans café Morning Call Coffee Stand , this quartet, with its infectious good humour, has made a speciality of revisiting the barbershop repertoire popularised by the legendary Mills Brothers . They also weave in original compositions that sound so authentic one could hardly believe they were not written in the same era. Superb instrumentalists, accomplished showmen and masters of an impeccable vocal quartet sound, they are among the true gems of Europe’s traditional jazz scene. An unmissable concert!
