Into a Night's Echo is a Brussels-based quintet led by bassist and composer Ramon van Merkenstein. The group performs contemporary acoustic jazz as a single continuous suite, moving between composed material and improvisation. It moves like something half-remembered : layered, shifting and non-linear, like a sequence of dreams. Motifs return in altered forms, grooves evolve and dissolve, and improvisation reshapes the music from within. At its core is a rhythm section that pulls like an undertow : between groove and trance, patient and hard to resist. Over that current, a two-horn front line follows the music's shifting contours as they unfold.
