"Accordionist Stan Maris sought and found a unique way to carve out a place for himself in jazz with his accordion." Klara "Unparalleled accordionist ... We have long known that Maris can handle an accordion like an indefinable instrument. Here, he surpasses himself." Jazzhalo Stan Maris is a Belgian accordionist, composer and electronics artist based in Brussels. Growing up listening to hiphop beats and alt-pop, combined with a background in jazz studies and improvised music, he brings a new sound to accordion. His trio, Kin Gajo, was selected by Lefto Early Bird for the Lefto Presents Jazz Cats Vol 3. A hiphop-jazz-dub mutation, the trio is releasing their first full album in 2026 on W.E.R.F. Records. Stan has performed and recorded with artists like Joe Talia, Robert Landfermann, Giovanni Di Domenico, Sofia Jernberg, Julian Sartorius, Radwan Gazi Moumneh, Clara Levy and others. As a solo artist, Stan’s music is minimal and cyclic, using his rebuild hybrid midi-acoustic accordion.
