Marcus Mingus
Opened by Alan and Sally, French and English respectively. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac adjacent to the 'Jeanneke Piss' was an exceptional performance space, in the summer the font could be opened up on to the street. Cannot remember just how long it remained active, during the early nineteen nineties, it hosted many great sessions featuring Belgian and international musicians and groups.

Club 11Club 11 was held in a performance space, a part of a rural museum, in Jodoigne. Regardless of the out-of-town location, it was very well-supported and had in fact the ambience of a semi-private jazz club. The owner, founder, a very personable individual, became seriously ill and died.
Club 11 Sart-Mélin 11, Jodoigne |
A I'Arts-ô-BasesSituated in what I assume had once been a workshop or warehouse, near to the canal area, minimally finished but nevertheless, for a while a welcome addition to the Brussels Jazz Scene.

Sheraton Brussels Airport
Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel - Sunday Brunch and Jazz. The performance space was in The Atrium. It was the brainchild of The General Manager of the hotel, Fred Welke, who was an accomplished crooner and loved jazz. This venue provided a welcome gig for touring bands and musicians and regular faces on the scene. An additional attraction was a meal when the session ended. When Fred retired and went, I think to South America, the sessions continued but ultimately came to an end. It was a great place to play, other than an enormously high glass ceiling that did add a touch of echo to the proceedings.
