MARC MANGEN TRIO

After a first amazing concert in LiquID last december we are more than happy to welcome these incredible musicians and true friends to come open up our birthday week this tuesday for an amazing Tuesday Jazz Session certainly followed by a jam session... indeed.

Marc is a pianist of international fame, working in the field of Jazz as well as in Funk and Fusion. His very personal style is based upon tradition, but also strongly shaped by his constant research on new harmonic and melodic possibilities. Marc started his musical education in the conservatory of Luxembourg. There he obtained his final grade, the so called "Premier Prix" (first prize) in 1978. The same year he moved on to the conservatory of Strasbourg (France) where he spent the following four years studying with the illustrious French pianist Gérard Frémy and with French jazz great Bernard Struber. He obtained in 1986 the French diploma "Professeur d'État de Jazz".

Marc started composing at a very young age, and his music got performed by other musicians since he was 20. He composes modern classical music and jazz tunes, as well as longer compositions for jazz bands. He is also a commissioned composer for other bands.

This week Marc will be present us his new trio involving two amazing young musicians, being Boris Schmidt on double bass and Niels Engel on drums. Their repertoire will be mainly own compositions. Come enjoy ;)
