Jazz'halo
Welcome
There is more jazz than Jazz’halo and there is Jazz’halo because there is never enough jazz. Jazz musicians and jazz lovers are explorers, looking for ‘things to happen’ but we do not always know where and when it happens. May this site guide you and us in our pursuit.

Rest in peace, dear Sheila. You'll be so missed. Thanks for your friendship.
“I just want to keep this music alive by inspiring others to love it as much as I do.”
Sheila Jordan
Dear Jazz Community & Friends,
I am deeply saddened to share that my mother, Sheila Jordan, passed away peacefully this afternoon, Monday, August 11, at 3:50 pm. As she departed, Joan Belgrave's rendition of "Bill for Bennie," a bebop tune by Marcus Belgrave, filled the air, reflecting my mother's profound connection to jazz.
Please accept my sincere gratitude for your kindness and generosity. The funds collected through the GoFundMe page will be applied towards resolving medical debts and arranging a burial site at Woodlawn Cemetery's Jazz Corner. A memorial service will be held at Saint Peter's Church in New York City.
Best regards,

Jazz’halo.be wants to let the light shine on interesting concerts, projects and albums for which there is no space in the newspapers and weeklies. Completeness is not our ambition and we depend on the information supplied to us by the clubs, musicians, organizers and by you. All contributions are welcomed and we will select the most interesting news for publication.
We choose English as the basic language for Jazz’halo.be but contributions in Dutch, French and German will be published as such.
Jazz’halo stands for contemporary, adventurous, new, boundless. Have a look at the Archives section and you will understand.

The Archives
Jazz’halo was launched in 1997 with a lot of ambition and a good sponsor who made it possible to start up the print magazine, the CD label, the website and the Jazz’halo Music Days. The first Jazz’halo Music Days in November 1997 featured bass player Cameron Brown and his band ‘The Hear and Know’ with Sheila Jordan, the Joe Fonda Trio, the Gerry Hemingway Quartet and Belgian jazz bands such as the Peter Hertmans Quartet and the Phil Abraham Quartet. The following years we brought a whole range of interesting musicians on the Belgian stages such as Joëlle Léandre, Beñat Achiary, Greg Marvin, Raúl Barboza, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Vinny Golia and many others. More about the past in the Archives section.
