Late Jazz at TheOtium: Maxime Dereux

The evening continues in TheOtium with a live jazz set after the talk.

Saxophonist Maxime Dereux and pianist Jonas Paenen play as a tight duo, focused on listening and interaction. Their music is contemporary but accessible, moving between simple melodies and open improvisation.

Dereux brings a warm, direct sound on the saxophone, while Paenen keeps things clear and precise on the piano. The result is intimate, understated, and easy to settle into after a conversation.

No big stage, no formal setup. Just good music, a drink, and a chance to stay a bit longer.

The session runs from 20:00 to 22:00 in TheOtium.
