The Eliott Knuets Quintet unites five rising talents from across the globe: Sam Barnett (England, alto saxophone), Noé Sécula (France, piano), Paddy Fitzgerald (Australia, bass), Genius Wesley (USA, drums), and Eliott Knuets (Belgium, guitar).

The quintet was born out of a close collaboration between Eliott and the exceptional pianist and composer Noé Sécula—a musician who has studied with Brad Mehldau, recorded with Jorge Rossy, and performed alongside Jeff Ballard and Larry Grenadier. Together, Eliott and Noé began composing, drawing inspiration from the great masters of both jazz and classical music, and shaping a sound that is at once personal, refined, and forward-looking.

The band’s music reflects this search for freshness and depth: original compositions, strong interplay, and a constant openness to new influences. What emerges is a unique, vibrant voice of a new generation of jazz musicians—one that speaks with authenticity, creativity, and a powerful collective energy.
