| Chris JORIS ON CHILDREN'S STREET
LY 9604004
JazzHot magazine refers to Chris JORIS as "probably the greatest European percussionist".
Chris described himself as a Tam Tam man. This, on the podium while receiving the Django d'Or award. This award is presented as ultimate recognition to the best jazz musicians so it is obvious that Chris JORIS is much more than a Tam Tam man, he is an outstanding musician, a white sorcerer. Everything he touches transforms into a melody, sound, wave, all converging in a magic world. This album has been a determining factor in Chris' nomination for the Django.

AQUARELLE
LY 9609006
|
Ernst VRANCKX- piano, Stefan BRACAVAL - flute .
Aquarelle enables you to listen to the result of a rich association. The musicians lead us into harmonious compositions, warm, where virtuosity manifests itself without restraint.
This is a production in which we discover the spirit of Pat Metheny's best compositions.
Trumpeter Kenny WHEELER describes this album as a short-instant of nostalgia marvelously performed by Ernst and Stefan. |
| François DECAMPS HAMPS DIGS HAM

Guitarist François DECAMPS is leading his octet. A graduate of Berklee and a student of Pierre Van Dormael he expresses the influences he has undergone and this is obvious by his way of playing his guitar and in his compositions.
This is a daring production. Don't miss the "Black Dog of Led Zeppelin", powerful and suprising. |
| Charles LOOS LUST FOR JAZZ
LY 9704009
| Charles LOOS - piano. Charles is one of the pillars of Belgian jazz. Who hasn't heard about him. His work has been rewarded, in 1997, by the ultimate recognition for jazz musicians - The Django d'Or award.
The title of the album has a carnal relation to the music and this is not a coincidence. Charles is passionate about music (not just jazz).
This CD is one more proof to his talent and standing and the many facets of music he likes to play. Here he opted for mainstream jazz that flows harmonically and tenderly. |

LY99018-C |
Veteran guitar payer and composer Paolo RADONI joins forces with another veteran / monument of Belgian jazz, drummer Félix SIMTAINE, and two younger but confirmed talents : Bas COOYMANS (bass) and Ben SLUIJS (alto sax).

We were holding our breath since sometime now for a new album by Radoni. The long wait paid nicely. |
