The “Toots Thielemans Jazz Award 2024” (performance in 2026) goes to Yarno Hoedemakers (pianist and composer).
Yarno Hoedemakers, laureate of the 2024 Toots Thielemans Jazz Award, stands out for his distinctive compositional vision, where rhythm, layering and sound experimentation play a central role. With a background in percussion and electronic music, he has developed an open and hybrid musical language that blends jazz, electronic music and club influences. His artistic development was shaped under the guidance of his KCB professors Diederik Wissels and Jeroen Van Herzeele. For Yarno, jazz is above all freedom, a music with few boundaries that constantly reinvents itself.
