The brilliant Belgian guitarist Bert Dockx has so far presented his band Dans Dans (in 2017 and 2018) and a solo guitar project in Maribor Transit in 2019. He also works in one of Belgium's most popular bands, the iconoclastic The Flying Horseman, and after hundreds of gigs in a rock environment, he felt compelled to rekindle his interest in jazz music.

The group Ottla was born, named after Franz Kafka's sister. As in the Kaftan family, the oeuvre of Bert Dockx Ottl is a kind of "sister project," less marked by darkness and mystery. The band's compositions are extremely diverse, stylistically indefinable, some have described the music as "jazz-improv-electro-noise-prog-afro-blues-groove-punk-krautrock."

Anyone who has heard Bert Dockx perform, either alone, with Dans Dans or The Flying Horseman, will know how inspiring and atmospheric his performances are. Passionate vocals, an all-pervading presence, the reverberation of psychedelic blues, once again garage rock, the ecstasy of the moment and, above all, such guitar playing that it's a real pleasure to hear it!
