“JAZZ OF BELGIUM”, the new documentary by JAM-RTBF

The new jazz wave made in Belgium

Since the end of the lockdown, a vibrant music scene has been shaking up the foundations of jazz in Belgium. At the crossroads of improvisation, electronic sounds and live energy, a new generation of musicians is emerging—eager to bring jazz into the clubs… and into the now.

Around Volta, a talent incubator based in Anderlecht, projects are multiplying: Stuff, Echt!, Lander & Adriaan, Tukan, Jean-Paul Groove, Kau… Names that are already echoing far beyond our borders. Some call it the Brussels Sound. Others see it as the rise of a truly Belgian black-yellow-red sound.

In this new documentary, Jam dives into this bubbling scene. The film follows Echt! on tour across Europe, while giving voice to the artists and key players behind the movement.

Artists featured at Uhoda Jazz in Liège 2025!

Through this film, discover VAAGUE, who will be performing at the Reflektor on May 10, 2025, and LEFTO EARLY BIRD 30Y, live at the Régina Club the same evening!

Belgium has found in this new generation a jazz that truly reflects it — inventive, curious, and free. And maybe, one of its strongest musical calling cards for the years to come.
