Today marks 33 years since Sun Ra passed away, but the Arkestra he built plays on.

Miles Davis didn't just make music, he made musicians.

To celebrate what would have been his 100th birthday, some of our artists wanted to reflect on how Miles Davis shaped their sound, their vision and the way they think about music.

Happy birthday Miles 🤍

Today, we say goodbye to a true giant of jazz.

Sonny Rollins stood on our stage in 2011 and reminded everyone why jazz is alive. That night in Ghent was a privilege and an unforgettable memory we will cherish forever.

Rest in peace, Sonny.

One of the world’s greatest kora players is coming to Gent Jazz. Ballaké Sissoko: twenty-one strings, centuries of West African tradition and a sound unlike anything else.
