For the last edition of this season’s diaspora, we present the previously unreleased sound of 3Bas, and to mark the occasion encircled by an awe-inspiring host of percussionists. It goes without saying that they are from the diaspora. 3Bas stands for a bizarre trio of three Brussels bass saxophonists. One bass sax is unique in itself but three playing together? Quite simply, an absolute world première! The mega-reeds are fluttered by François Lourtie (formerly in the Beurs with the Soundpainting Orchestra and Pump Up the Bass playing with T & T trio), Marti Mélia (artistic director of Alimentation Générale and two years ago was already in this series in a Catalan duo with Nico Roig) and Luc Mishalle (compiler of diaspora, artistic director of MET-X and recently still on justJAZZit). For this occasion they will be assisted by Badr Derras, Abdessamad Semlali and co, among others, and in between also a good helping of unadulterated Moroccan Sha’abi. And of course, there will also be a few surprising interventions: we don’t have diaspora every day.
