Keep North, Toots Jazz Club, Brussels Belgium

Alexi Tuomarila - piano

Brice Soniano - bass

Lionel Beuvens - drums

Keep North is a trio of international musicians with incredible individual track records, and together they form one of the most powerful Nordic bands on the scene. Comprised of Lionel Beuvens on drums, Alexi Tuomarila on piano, and Brice Soniano on double bass, they are a dynamic Nordic jazz group that cultivates musical experiences through composition and improvisation. Lionel, Alexi, and Brice have been playing together for over 20 years in various projects.

Keep North was born out of Lionel's project, MOTU, and has since forged its own identity. The trio strives to reveal the truth about improvisation, making a sometimes intimidating branch of jazz more accessible, communal, and groove-oriented.

The group is based on original compositions and their shared passion for jazz, but their passion shines brightest when they take advantage of spontaneous interactions to create collaborative and melodic improvisations.
