About the event

Jazz op zondag: 3'Ain
▶ 3'Ain is een trio waarin Yamen Martini (trompet), Otto Kint (contrabas) en Piet Maris (accordeon) de krachten bundelen: ze spelen hedendaagse, worldwide jazz met invloeden uit de SWANA-regio (breder bekend als het Midden-Oosten).

De naam van de band is gebaseerd op ع , de achttiende letter in het Arabische alfabet: omdat die in Arabische chat- en sms-conversaties dikwijls wordt weergegeven als 3 en uitgeschreven wordt als 'ain, leek 3'Ain een gepaste naam voor het trio.

In 2020 releasde 3'Ain een eerste EP; in 2023 verscheen hun eerste album Sea Of Stories.

▶ 3'Ain is a trio in which Yamen Martini (trumpet), Otto Kint (double bass) and Piet Maris (accordion) join forces: they play contemporary, worldwide jazz with influences from the SWANA region (more widely known as the Middle East).

The band's name is based on ع , the eighteenth letter in the Arabic alphabet: as it is often rendered as 3 in Arabic chat and text message conversations and is written out as ‘ain, 3’Ain seemed an appropriate name tothe trio.

In 2020, 3'Ain released a first EP; their first album Sea Of Stories was released in 2023.

▶ Line-up:
♫ Yamen Martini: trumpet
♫ Otto Kint: upright bass
♫ Piet Maris: accordeon

// Press 3'Ain // Uk Vibe (UK) ★★★★ There’s an out-of-reach and enigmatic quality to Sea of Stories which keeps you drawing back into its music / Le Soir (BE) ★★★★ Une trompette, un accordéon, une basse et voilà des histoires en pleine mer / Inmusic (DE) ★★★★ Arabische Melodien treffen auf Musette-artige Akkordeonklänge und Contemporary Jazz / RnR (UK) ★★★★ The Syrian-Belgian trio’s blend of Western and Eastern sounds is as immersive a set of contemporary jazz as you’ll hear this year / Jazzthetik (DE) ★★★★ Überwiegend nachdenkliche Kammermusik bewegt sich zwischen sensibler Melancholie und Melodieseligkeit, grift Walzer und Tango auf und gefällt in ihrer Unbestimmtheit zwischen folkloristischer Anmutung und der Offenheit des Jazz / Songlines (UK) ★★★ The trio have recorded a set of impressive instrumentals that match jazz with echoes of the global influences / Knack Focus (BE) Ze combineren de weemoed van de piano du pauvre met de geur van de Levant
