Release date full album 'Wildernis' (Choux de Bruxelles): 27th September 2024.
Otto Kintet, the Brussels-based jazz quintet, presents 'Fontanel', the third single from the upcoming album 'Wildernis'. This track serves as a heartfelt welcome gift for no less than three babies born into the band during the album's creation. The band originally had a rehearsed arrangement but opted for a free-form approach. The result is a moment of connection and tranquility, where the music takes on new meaning, sharing a sense of peace with listeners. File under: minimal classical music, Joep Beving, ...

Perfect for serene, introspective jazz playlists. Their latest album, 'Wildernis'— set for release on September 27, 2024, under the Choux de Bruxelles label—captures the essence of natural and human interplay. The album is a testament to their commitment to live, instinctual music-making, with 'Fontanel' standing out as a poignant and peaceful offering.
With the album 'Wildernis', Otto Kintet delivers a sharp observation of (human) nature. All compositions are by bandleader and double bassist Otto Kint. He drew inspiration from Wildernis Strmbk, an abandoned sports complex that he transformed into an incubator for artists from various disciplines. Kint lived there for five years and watched as nature gradually reclaimed the tidy, man-made site. Kint translated this evolution into diverse compositions with room for improvisation and unrestrained interplay, an approach he carried into the studio. The entire album was recorded with all musicians in one room, without headphones or overdubs. Tranquility and clarity characterize the album at various moments. Additionally, Otto Kintet remains a groove-based band that can deliver powerful performances.
