Dear Uncle Lennie, a band born out of the prolific Belgian jazz scene, experiments with the power of classical songwriting and storytelling without words through short instrumental forms. On the first album of this unusual guitar-piano-banjo trio by Camille-Alban Spreng, Benjamin Sauzereau and Marco Giongrandi, pieces inspired by haiku poetry created an imaginary world with its own locations and characters. Their second album, Sister Juniper – released on BMC Records in September 2025 – is a collection of similar snapshots: behind the evocative song titles lies an entire family epic. The album touches on numerous traditions and genres, from folk to repetitive minimalist music, jazz to country, without ever settling on any one. The miniatures are accompanied by longer, more complex compositions, and the expansion of the trio's universe is also evident in the guest appearance of clarinetist Joachim Badenhorst. The band is now presenting the album live on the Opus stage.
