BANDS PROJECTS TEACHING

Kim's own quartet is constantly evolving through improvisation and interaction. The music is always personal with a strong jazz approach. The two albums capture the unique spirit and musical development of the group. In 2019 the third album, The 7 Year Itch" was released and it has Kim In the Middle written all over it: a surprising repertoire in a creative atmosphere, surrounding Kim's clear, warm and superflexible voice.
​
Kim Versteynen & Arne Van Coillie - Here's To Life!
Kim and Arne collaborate frequently in different bands and line-ups, but for this new duo project they give preference to "the song" (chanson - Lied - fado?). The voice gets the chance to sing about the things of life, short stories to the tunes of the great musical blacksmiths of the USA (or elsewhere occasionally).
​
Two sensitive musicians collaborating in the most transparent way: voice and guitar. They won the Concours des jeunes talents at the Dinant Leffe Jazz Nights Festival on July 22nd 2013! Their album "First Time" was released on November 1st 2014.
