The members of TaxiWars
Barman has fronted Belgian indie legends dEUS since 1989, selling 1.5 million albums along the way. He is also one half of dance duo Magnus and, for the last four years, singer and mischief maker for TaxiWars, his latest project and one that indulges his love for jazz.
Saxophone player Robin Verheyen lives in New York and has built a reputation as one of the great young talents in the world of jazz and classical music. He has released two albums with the Robin Verheyen NY Quartet, and has performed with such artists as Marc Copland, Ravi Coltrane, Narcissus Quartet, Gary Peacock, and Joey Baron.
Bassist Nicolas Thys was a mainstay on the Belgian and Dutch jazz scenes before he moved to New York in 1999. He has toured and/or recorded with legends like Lee Konitz, Mal Waldron, Toots Thielemans and Zap Mama.
Drummer Antoine Pierre has been touring with Belgian guitar legend Philip Catherine and trumpet player Jean-Paul Estiévenart, and others. He moved to New York City in 2014 to study at the New York School of Jazz and Contemporary Music
Tristan
With the release of her EP “Delidomia”, Tristan placed herself in the list of most promising talents from the Belgian scene. Live, Tristan’s wonderful mix of pop, jazz and ambient made quite an impression on Gent Jazz, OLT Rivierenhof and Absolutely Free festival. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Tristan withdrew and moved her full focus on her debut album. The album is almost ready, so expect a lot of new tunes!
