with Lorenzo Di Maio on guitar, Bruno Van Der Haegen on tenor sax/bass clarinet and Lionel Beuvens on drums
Schmidt & Salemi
After noticing a natural connection and understanding in their execution of standards these two musicians started inviting each other over to their respective bands. A short while later the decision was made to combine their repertoires in a highly melodic, harmonious duo setting. Among their personal compositions they also mix in some South American tunes.
Simón Gonzáles & Boris Schmidt
Latin traditional songs and own compositions in a similar style by both musicians. Beautiful dialogue between a bass and a guitar, between Choro, Zamba, Merengue and Jazz.
