IVAN PADUART BANDS


1. IVAN PADUART TRIO

Music by Ivan PADUART.

2. IVAN PADUART QUARTET

Since Aftertouch, Ivan PADUART abandoned the electronic fusion in favour of acoustic jazz.
The quartet plays, mainly, the pieces featured in PADUART's last album "WHITE NIGHTS" (in which some prominent guests like Toots THIELEMANS, Philip CATHERINE, Bob MALACH,... participated).
Most of the pieces are original compositions of his.

White nights
The compositions are modern jazz for which the main ingredients are a relative accessibility for the greater public, while, at the same time, trying to avoid the trap of a too easy tonality.
Colorful harmonisation of the themes, with the aim of rendering to each its own signature.
There is a consant search for equilibrium between speech and silence.

3. IVAN PADUART & TRUE STORY

TRUE STORY is the name of a special band created by pianist/composer Ivan PADUART. The band recorded the album True Stories (IGLOO Igl 146) with an impressive line-up : Charlie MARIANO is on saxophone, surrounded by a team of top Belgian and Dutch jazzmen : Nathalie LORIERS (p), Peter HERTMANS (gt), Jean-Pierre CATOUL (vl), Stefan LIEVESTRO (bass), Hans VAN OOSTERHOUT (drs) and Ivan PADUART (p/kb) himself, all of them contributing with some compositions.
The live line-up is slightly different (see above). The group appeared during several festivals.
