Belgium-based Jazz Pianist Milan Verbist

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Belgium-based jazz pianist Milan Verbist. We dig into his debut 2025 album Time Change and explore a life shaped and inspired by music from an early age. With this first album, Milan takes another significant leap in a career that has felt destined since childhood. Growing up in a vibrant musical environment—shaped deeply by his father, acclaimed bassist Piet Verbist—Milan absorbed a rich spectrum of influences, discipline, and artistic intuition. All of this is evident in the patient, dynamic, and remarkably mature approach his trio brings to this collection of mostly original compositions. Milan began his musical journey at age five on the accordion before moving to the piano at seven, discovering the instrument that would ultimately define his artistic voice. Today, he is a highly sought-after musician throughout Antwerp and Belgium, known for his sensitivity, clarity of expression, and musical depth. Dig this story.
