The genesis of State of Time took place in Brussels a while ago: two friends : Maxime Blésin and Stéphane Mercier discover jazz in underground clubs. They experiment very early on and eventually move to Boston, then New York and back to their hometown.

Line-up : Stéphane Mercier sax & compositions – Maxime Blésin : guitar & compositions – Manu Koch : piano – Cédric Raymond : bass – Daniel Jonkers : drums
