Born May 23. 1966, Dirk Schreurs started improvising at the piano at the age of 6. Having taken a solid classical training at the Music Academy of Neerpelt (Flanders, Belgium), he graduated with the highest academic distinction.
At the age of 15 he sat in with R&B-giants such as Bob Hall, Dave Peabody and the Deluxe Blues Band at the Belgian Folk & Blues festival, playing ragtime, blues, boogie-woogie and gospel piano. At the European Youth Music Festival (1984) the Dutch Television (NOS) recorded Dirk's performance of the jazz-musical "On the town" scored by Leonard Bernstein.
In 1989 Dirk graduated as a Master in Germanic Philology at the Catholic University of Louvain. For three years he worked as a scientific researcher in the field of Computational Linguistics at the Linguistics Department of the Louvain Faculty of Arts. He gave lectures on the development of "Controlled Language" at the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh (Scotland) and at the Institute of Science and Technology of the Manchester University (UK). The syntactic and the semantic aspects of linguistics and improvised music have always been two major points of interest in the development of his compositional craftmanship and improvising skills.
Moreover, over the years Dirk crossed the path of great musicians such as Enrico Pieranunzi, Bob Berg, Trilok Gurtu, John Abercrombie, Joey deFrancesco, Jack de Johnette, Martial Solal, Daniel Goyonne, and David Kikoski, all of whom -through their inspiring performances and talks -gave spiritual direction to Dirk's dynamic approach to jazz and improvised music.
He has composed and arranged over 250 tunes, many of which have found their way not only to the performing stage but also to the realm of radio and television around Western Europe. Next to playing the acoustic piano and electro-acoustic vintage keyboards (Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Clavinet and Hammond organ), Dirk also likes to operate analog synthesizers and modules.
Since 1994 Dirk has been a professor of music, teaching piano/keyboards, improvisation theory, ensemble, and jazz methodology at the Jazz Department of the Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music.
Nowadays you can find him at jazz clubs, theaters and on festival stages sitting in with:
The Roman Korolik Group (www.myspace.com/rkgpage)
Chromatic Banana (www.altosax.be)
Scora (www.myspace.com/scoramusic)
and his own trio called DS3.
