AKA MOON AT DE CASINO

Thursday, April 26, Aka Moon did a concert at 'De Casino' in Sint Niklaas, Belgium.
I had been blown away by their gig at jazz club De Singer in Rijkevorsel a couple of days earlier, so I just had to give it another go in Sint Niklaas.

• Fabrizio Cassol: saxophone, compositions
• Michel Hatzigeorgiou: fender jazz bass
• Stéphane Galland: drums

Let me start by saying that the setting was a real treat. Friendly people, nice chairs, a fine sound (although the bass could have used a bit of extra amplification) and a beautiful (and gigantic) chandelier !!

Aka Moon was in fine shape and played a similar set to the Rijkevorsel gig. Again, very energetic, very powerful, and also very interactive.
One of the highlights of the evening had Michel Hatzigeorgiou playing a stunning solo piece.
I loved it and I wasn't the only one.
There were a lot of younger people in the audience (or maybe I'm getting older), and it was nice to see how they appreciated it all.
