About the band:
Jake Walker, a jazz ensemble founded in 2016 by pianist Wouter Van den Broeck and saxophonist Alec Lagrange, emerged from a desire to explore traditional jazz styles. Starting with a New Orleans-inspired repertoire, the band gained recognition for their dynamic performances in pubs and festivals. After Alec's departure in 2018, Wouter shifted the band's focus toward swing-era big band arrangements, enhancing their appeal for dancers and musicians alike.
The COVID-19 pandemic interrupted their growth but allowed them to develop ambitious projects, including expanded ensembles and themed concerts. Post-pandemic, Jake Walker resumed international touring, performing across Europe while maintaining deep ties to their Ghent roots. With over 100 diverse arrangements and a strong reputation, the band is celebrated for its versatility and vibrant musical personalities.
