A CLASSICAL AND JAZZ MUSICIAN ON THE COMMERCIAL MUSIC SCENE

Educated as a classical and a jazz musician at the Brussels Conservatory, he started his career on the commercial music scene. As a sideman he worked, recorded and toured with several popular artists: the late Bart Van den Bossche, Philippe Robrecht, Johan Verminnen and many more. As a session musician he cooperated on many recordings.

AND STILL THERE’S JAZZ

Van Marcke gradually found his way into his own (jazz) music. Led his own bands and performed on Blue Note Festival, Brossella, Klarafestival, Gentse Feesten, Jazz in ’t Park, Concertgebouw Brugge. Recorded with renowned jazz musicians: David Linx, Peter Hertmans, Pascal Schumacher, Bart Quartier and many more.

SOLO PIANO AND SMALL LINE-UPS

JAZZ-UP YOUR EVENT

You have reason for a little celebration. Wedding? Anniversary? Celebrating Indian Summer? Sunday matinee. In daylight or at dusk. Under the trees, in your living room, on a square, on the sunny side of the street. We provide an intimate, sublime, ultimate touch of music. Jazzy standards from the Great American Songbook, from the latest pop encyclopedia, from a good jukebox, original work from our hearts.
