Biography Golden River City Jazz BandSince many years the Kortrijk “Golden River City Jazz Band” occupies a major place in the Belgian traditional jazz scene where this dynamic old style band keeps up the tradition of New-Orleans jazz with much enthusiasm. When the band first performed at the Kortrijk “Golden River City Jazz Festival” in 1970 (the year the band was formed by clarinettist JEAN-JACQUES PIETERS, who’s still the leader) nobody could have imagined that this was the start of a most successful story. In the meantime, the band has got a fine reputation both in Belgium and abroad.No less than 30 times the Golden River City Jazz Band played a major role at the annual festival in its hometown. The real breakthrough occurred in 1973 when the band had the opportunity to accompany the British lady-singer Beryl Bryden. From the original personal only the banjo player Arsène De Vlieger (joined the band in 1973) and founder-leader, clarinettist and saxophone player Jean-Jacques Pieters are still members of the band. Since then the band has accompanied an impressive series of international guest stars and soloists at the annual Kortrijk Golden River City Jazz Festival. The G.R.C. Jazz Band featured a.o.
