me well... i'm a piano player who likes a lot of music, but plays mainly jazz and jazz-related music. besides that i do some teaching, which is sometimes fun and sometimes a drag. and above all, i do my best to be a loving husband to my lovely wife and an incredible dad for my incredible baby daughter. her name is mpho, and i would actually like to tell you all more about her than about myself... but i won't :-) if you would be interested in the details about me, like historical facts and all - visit the stuff section of this website. you'll find something called a bio under documents. peace to y'all. ewout picture of mpho © stef devos tutu puoane tutu's a major vocal talent, born in pretoria (south africa) and living in europe since 2002. she's truly unique, combining early influences by jazz greats like sarah vaughan, ella fitzgerald, dianne reeves, ... with a lot of soul and with her native african roots. proof of that exciting mix can be found on her latest album 'quiet now'. look out for it in your favorite record store! tutu puoane - voice ewout pierreux - piano nicolas thys - double bass lieven venken - drums www.tutupuoane.info go to 'stuff' to listen to some samples. picture © marcus wyatt ewout pierreux group so... as i said before : this IS going to be the line-up of my first album. just played a little tour beginning november 2010 and recorded two shows... result will be a live debut album which will hopefully be released somewhere in spring 2011. i've been looking for a band name for a long time, and eventually decided to keep my own name, for clarity's sake and because of the fact that the written material is all mine... did change it to 'group' though, cause i never liked the sound of 'quintet'... anyways... i hope to be able to play a lot in the near future to make this band grow! jean-paul estiévenart - trumpet & flugelhorn bruno vansina - alto & soprano sax ewout pierreux - piano clemens van der feen - bass lieven venken - drums picture © marta de gracia
