Our group Base-12 comes from Brussels. We love jazz because it gives us the opportunity to create something unique in the moment. Base-12 expands its music to the frontiers of post-bop, cross-over jazz and cool jazz. Its compositions belong to the New York jazz movement with new sounds brought by Max Wolly. 

Max Wolly is the pianist, leader, and composer of  the group. 

In 2019 Max Wolly released his first album ("Blue Sunbeam") with Otto Kint (Double Bass), Oscar Georges (Drums) and two special guests : Alain Pierre and Guillaume Vierset (Guitars). 

We try to reconcile the pop and the jazz worlds with catchy tunes, mixed with some beautiful jazz standards. For the album, we have recorded "My funny valentine".

The group Base-12 was formed in 2015, initially with the drummer Paul Berne and the double bass player Cyrille Obermüller.

Base-12 is in the service of music and, above all, of his listeners, informed jazz amateurs or those eager to discover new groups.
