Incandescence is a jazz quartet project formed by Nick Adema and Maël Idris, including Paddy Fitzgerald Genius Wesley.

Incandescence is a term associated with the heating up of an object to create light. Similarly so, in this project the bond between Nick and Maël radiates through their music. With its hot rays, and clear intentions, does Nick and Maël present a set of original and traditional compositions from a mixed American/European perspective.

They will be going into the studio to record their debut album under fresh sound records produced by Lage Lund, featuring Alto Saxophonist Ben van Gelder.

The band is performing music reflecting the cutting edge jazz scene of musicians such as Immanuel Wilkins, Joel Ross, Gerald Clayton and beyond. The mixed global connection of the band, with the focused American jazz sound provides the listener with a unique listening experience of what's new in jazz today. 

Co-leaders Nick and Maël in there early twenty’s have already racked a number of accolades, including receiving a downbeat composition award, winning the Keep an Eye’s best soloist award, the winner of the Dînant Jazz competition, leading a number of tours spanning Canada and Europe, winning the Holland, Albert and Wilhemine scholarships.
