Michel Mainil / Greg Houben Reunion 5tet

Two leading figures of Belgian jazz, Michel Mainil and Greg Houben, reunite on the Music Village stage for a moment of pure musical delight. Surrounded by exceptional musicians — Jérémy Dumont on piano, Jean Van Lint on double bass, and Jan de Haas on drums — they form a quintet brimming with energy, chemistry, and joy.

The Reunion 5tet is where melody, swing, and emotion meet — where the warm tone of Greg Houben’s flugelhorn and his elegant voice respond to the expressive phrasing of Michel Mainil’s saxophone. Together, they explore a repertoire blending great jazz standards with a nod to Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, all delivered with their signature humor and sincerity.
