Heleen Van Haegenborgh & Christian Mendoza - Copper

One piano, two musicians, four hands. Music at the crossroads of minimalism, chamber music, contemporary jazz and impro. In their new duo, the jazz pianist Christian Mendoza and classically-trained pianist Heleen Van Haegenborgh explore Bach’s oeuvre, starting from Kurtág’s transcriptions for four hands. This inspired them to make their own music, a mixture of compositions and improvisation. The result is a meeting of two worlds, a unique symbiosis of age-old music and the constant urge for renewal felt by two present-day improvisers. Copper, their debut CD, will be released on 5 March on the W.E.R.F. label, a mark of quality in Belgian jazz since 1993.
