Nabou Claerhout is a versatile trombone player and composer considered as one of the new stars in Belgian jazz.
Known from her signature projects N∆BOU, the 8-piece Trombone Ensemble Nabou Claerhout, her trio Claerhout/Baas/Peet and duo performance with Lynn Cassiers next to a diversity of other projects as side woman (AM.OK, LOD Muziektheater, Les Sheikhs Shikhats & B’net Chaabi, Free Orleans Rebel Band, ...), Nabou rapidly made name over the last years. She also plays solo sets.
Nabou Claerhout (°1993, Antwerp) took a brave and unusual leap to learn to play the trombone at the age of 9. Nobody could have imagined then that, years later, she would land in the middle of the contemporary jazz scene. Today, Nabou is one of the most promising and innovative jazz trombonists of the Benelux.
