" OakTree au Centre Culturel d'Ans hier-soir... superbe concert et spectacle du trio formé par Sarah Klenes (voix, percussions), Annemie Osborne (violoncelle, voix) et Thibault Dille (accordéon, voix)... les trois "T" ont encore frappé : le Talent, associé au Temps (donner du temps au temps) et le Travail... le tout au service d'un répertoire dominé par des accents très "Europe Centrale" pour le premier set (le chant de Sarah Klenes ravivait les souvenirs de l'univers de la violoniste roumaine Iva Bittova !) et un second set plus différencié ( de Sam Cook à Gabriel Fauré), le tout, ponctué par compositions originales que l'on peut entendre sur leur album "Well" paru chez Home Records...Oak Tree a touché le public par son professionnalisme : par delà la maîtrise technique de l'instrument, l'écoute mutuelle sans faille, l'attention à l'autre et au public de chaque instant... le concert a emporté les spectateurs des rires aux larmes, mais toujours dans la retenue et la maîtrise... comme le travail à l'accordéon de Thibault Dille, pas de fioritures, mais un jeu net et précis... ou encore la virtuosité au violoncelle de Annemie Osborne, et même surprenante quand elle arrive à faire entendre les sonorités d'un tuba ! (Michel Massot sort de ce violoncelle !!!), et, Sarah Klenes, ancienne élève de David Linx, jusque dans la gestuelle, les postures... chanter c'est bien plus qu'une voix, c''est se laisser habiter par une composition, un univers... ici et là, Sarah s'aventure même sur le terrain de ce qui pourrait être un spectacle total... ce serait juste, OakTree c'est plus qu'un concert, c'est une invitation au voyage, voyage dont on sort mieux que quand on y est entré... so, what else ? "

The tour brought us all across Wallonie where the warm welcome of the diverse audiences left us with beautiful memories. We also played in France at the Opéra de Reims, a special concert with, exceptionally, the cellist Sébastien Walnier.

In April, we've been recording our new opus "well" in Liège. It'll be sent to the press firm next week!!
Our guests Michel Massot, Tcha Limberger and Kristof Hiriart were great, as well as the team of Homerecords.be who is producing it all. Lucky we are! The artwork is developped by the French artist Nina Reumaux. It will be a beautiful object!
Meanwhile, we'll take off to Athens this Sunday to play at the Technopolis Jazz Festival! More news to come!

The JazzLabSeries ended beautifully at the Casino in Sint Niklaas with Michel Massot! A beautiful and rich experience! Many warm thanks to Michel, Tcha Limberger and Kristof Hiriart, as well as to our great sound engineers Pascale Snoek and Leonard Clarys for their talent and generosity.
Very soon we will be in Liège for a concert in trio at the cinema LE PARC. To your agendas :-)
And, finally, the icing on the cake: despite the critical state of the CD industry, some lables are finding new ways and open their doors to young artists! We'll be having the chance and joy ...

Looking forward to sharing all this with you!
