Almost already 8 years ago COLIN WEBSTER, MARTINA VERHOEVEN and DIRK SERRIES got back together for another session at the Sunny Side Inc. Studio (Anderlecht, Belgium). PRAXIS released in 2020 showcases their ability to equally move from full introspection to frenetic interaction.
“Not a permanent group, Serries/Verhoeven/Webster can be relied upon, singly or together, to create fascinating sounds.” Jazzword
“Successful improvisational recordings inspire us to follow closely, out of a genuine curiosity for what comes next – this is one of those albums.” Kevin Press/The Moderns

KEEFFE LISLE SERRIES – INTANGIBLE CONSTRUCT (DIGITAL, A NEW WAVE OF JAZZ)
UK improvisers CHARLOTTE KEEFFE (trumpet) and ANDREW LISLE (drums) and Belgian guitarist DIRK SERRIES already met numerous times in different constellations, both live and in the studio. However, it was when Dirk invited Charlotte and Andrew to perform as a duo at one of the A New Wave Of Jazz-curated events at jazzclub PlusEtage (released as part of a 3CD set ‘Live At PlusEtage’ – listen here) the opportuniy arose to record a session as a trio.
At the amazing Sunny Side Inc. Studio in Anderlecht (Belgium) they came together one Sunday afternoon in April 2022 to record this fine album. Due to all pending releases, the album never got its spot on time to be released.
Here now the album finally gets its own spotlight on the label in the form of a digital-only release.

Did you know that British saxophonist (and one of our favorite wind instrumentalists) COLIN WEBSTER participated the most in the TONUS ensemble ? Colin joined the ensemble for five albums and most of the performances up till today.
A wonderful 2026 to everyone. May we hope the new year will bring more brightness, joy and less war for us on this planet. We need it. Naturally it goes without saying that we also want to thank you all for your amazing support over this past year. We’ll continue with music on our different platforms, from the improvised music on A New Wave Of Jazz to the Vidna Obmana reissues and the new Dirk Serries solo work. A few collaborations are also in the pipeline, some recorded and ready to go into production, others in the creative burner.
Also in 2026 Dirk Serries’ STREAMS OF CONSCIOUSNESS ambient series continues. Check out the subscription option as this is way more beneficial than ordering them separately.
Only 55 EUR per year to keep up with all the recordings he’ll create and release in this line of albums. On top of that you’ll get all existing releases so that you start with a complete collection and know that you’re supporting the artist in its most direct and personal way to have him continue with his music and your chance to dwell into this oeuvre of bliss.
A wonderful 2026 to everyone. May we hope the new year will bring more brightness, joy and less war for us on this planet. We need it. Naturally it goes without saying that we also want to thank you all for your amazing support over this past year. We’ll continue with music on our different platforms, from the improvised music on A New Wave Of Jazz (focusing on more digital releases, due to the bad economics, the increasing shipping costs, etc.) to the Vidna Obmana reissues and the new Dirk Serries solo work. A few collaborations are also in the pipeline, some recorded and ready to go into production, others in the creative burner.
A NEW WAVE OF JAZZ is not about jazz music, persé, but more about a philosophy. A style, an approach, a modus operandi in communicating between artists, label and audience. A platform for all experiments and sound exchanges between the affiliated musicians on the label, from full-on free improvisation to minimalism. However this creativity lives between the cracks and is fully DIY so we’re setting up this VIP membership for the devotees among you.
Your membership will help us to support future releases, concerts and projects. In return you will get exclusive access to our vault of unreleased live recordings, home sessions, album outtakes.
The programme Portamento has been broadcast on the Concertzender since 2018. Portamento featured music selected by Dirk Serries. It was a monthly programme, initially on Sunday evenings and later on Thursday evenings.
Some time ago, Dirk announced that he would unfortunately no longer be able to continue producing the programme after the end of 2025. A loss for the Concertzender, but hopefully the start of something wonderful for Dirk. On behalf of all Concertzender staff and listeners: Thank you for all those years of beautiful and special music!
All of this means that the very last Portamento will be broadcast on the Concertzender on Thursday, December 25th at 23:00 CET. A fitting way to end Christmas Day and to say farewell to Dirk.
Fortunately, we still have the recordings: All episodes of Portamento can still be listened to here.
