RELEASES 2004 :

This Paolo Loveri’s first CD as leader and main composer. This project has been carefully developed and rigorously fine-tuned by the musicians over a long period of time. Paolo Loveri formed the trio with Benoît Vanderstraeten and Bruno Castelluci. Here, they are joined by Pietro Condorelli, Paolo's teacher and maestro of the jazz guitar in Italy. The repertoire is essentially made up of original compositions.

The improvisations of the quartet Bansuri Collectif, mixing acoustic instruments and electronics, are based on Rui Salgado’s compositions and are inspired by the ancestral tradition of an Indian flute upon which musicians played sounds suggested by nature.

The music of Alexandre Furnelle opens the door to a unique and magical world where improvisation and composition come together, where discovery rhymes with emotions and dancing energy.

A tribute to the music of Belgian guitarist and composer Paolo Radoni who died on december 21st of 2007. His compositions are played by his friends, "Radoni's Tribe”. Musical direction and arrangements by Michel Herr.

Henri Greindl's guitar has travelled from the sounds of European jazz to the beaches of Brazil with a stop over in laid back California. His compositions are memories of these different stylistic influences or musical ports visited. This is a collection of some fifteen tunes that have been recorded in Belgium and in the Brazilian cities of Sao Paulo and Fortaleza, with some of the best musicians from the local scenes. 

Stéphane Mercier and Charles Loos have been playing in a "traditional set-up" quartet since 2006 only, and even though the chemistry and its magic was present from the very first note they played, the group gained maturity in an unusual fast manner. "Walking the Soul Map" proves it. Whatever the material is: originals, standards or covers, the quartet offers deep swing, melancholy, energy, humor, and at times all of it together...

Al Orkesta fuses folk and ethnic styles with rock and jazz to produce a series of 'off centre' musically interesting pieces that provide creative space for the soloists.

In his third album “Un eco de palabras”, hailed by the famous Brazilian composer Egberto Gismonti, the Argentinean pianist/composer Gabriel Sivak and his group perform seven new compositions, evoking as many journeys between Paris and Buenos Aires.

Musician of many talents, composer and guitarist Pierre Van Dormael (may 24, 1952 - Sept. 03 2008), has been an essential figure of the Belgian Jazz scene, and had a significant influence on several generations of musicians. This album, carefully prepared, recorded and mixed by himself shows a side of his talent rarely heard on CD : an intimate and acoustic album alternating solo pieces and duo with Senegalese guitarist Herve Samb. The repertoire is made of personal compositions, chosen standards, and covers of the years 70’.

African percussion cooked Bruxelles sauce. Harmonies mixed sweet way. Multicolored kind of jazz.
Acoustic sound, intense music ..
This project celebrates the meeting with Malian culture and the friendship with Malian percussionist Sidiki Camara.

The music on this CD is the result of two years of playing with my quartet. Daniel, Theo and Lionel are stimulating musicians who pushed me to rethink my way of composing.

This compilation (2cds) celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Belgian independent label Mogno Music. You will find tracks from almost every album released by us between 1997 & 2007, that means 2h30 of musical substance that could positively affect your brain!

"Tempo Feliz is a great recording, bare, sober, incisive, full of life and rhythm. An original duo formed of a Belgian guitarist and a Brazilian percussionist. The material is written and arranged by contemporary Brazilian guitarists and composers (Paulo Bellinati, Marco Pereira). Also to be found, music from Baden Powell and Luís Bonfá arranged by the great Sérgio Assad. Boris Gaquere also proposes his own music imbued with the colours of Brazil. There is in Boris a marvelous control of the guitar, a beautiful essential rhythmic sprightliness for this demanding repertoire. He finds in Renato Martins, straight out of São Paulo, an ideal partner for these melodies.”
