ABOUT THE PROJECT
With Big Jazz in Little Belgium, Pieter De Vries offers a visual tribute to Belgium’s jazz scene: intimate, vibrant, and deeply rooted in character.
During 2019, he documented musicians across the country, capturing both the energy of performance and the quieter moments around it. The result is a photographic portrait of a remarkable artistic community, created just before the world changed for a while.
Featuring artists ranging from Philip Catherine to Hendrik Lasure, the project brings together different generations of Belgian jazz in one visual narrative.
