Cinema Paradiso
Cinema Paradiso is a Belgian jazz quartet that operates without a leader, consisting of Kurt Van Herck, Eric Thielemans, Willem Heylen, and Jozef Dumoulin. Their third album, Empty Empty (2024), released by Challenge Records, marks a new chapter in their evolving sound, blending acoustic and electric textures to create a raw, devotional, and beautifully layered experience. The album showcases original compositions alongside Indian chants and a piece by Claude Debussy, and it distinguishes itself through a rich, full sound that retains warmth and detail. Known for their immersive live performances, Cinema Paradiso offers a transformative journey, inviting audiences to deeply connect with their music.
