Moers Festival Interviews: Bart Maris

Read "Moers Festival Interviews: Bart Maris" reviewed by Martin Longley


Bart Maris is a heroic Belgian trumpeter, deeply committed to the art of improvisation, treading a wilder jazz path, and possessing a mighty appetite for road-life, gigging prolifically and always seeking out unfamiliar collaborators, knowing that this act will force his own playing into a continual sense of vital change.
