| From the beginning, his quartet has met with an enthousiastic response from the public and the critics.
They played a.o. at the '97 "Jazz à Liège" Festival,
where they received the "Nicolas Dor Prize",
an award that goes to the best performance of a
Belgian band during the festival. Furthermore, the group had been selected by the RTBF radio to be recorded live in an exchange of radio programs for the CRPLF (Communauté des Radios Publiques de Langue Française), in which the public radio stations of France, Switserland and Canada participate. Other appearances in '98 include : Festival des Lundis d'Hortense (Brussels), "Jazz à Liège" Festival, Brussels Jazz Marathon, Gaume Jazz Festival and numerous concerts. In 2001, the band appeared in Paris during the festival "Le Jazz perd le Nord". The group swings, has a great impact on the audience, and presents a repertoire that combines original compositions with new renditions of well known standards. | ||
| The CD " LOOP THE LOOP" was released in January '98 (Igloo Igl 136). It includes some excerpts from the acclaimed performance at the '97 Liège Festival, plus additional studio recordings. In the Belgian jazz referendum organized by Belgian radios RTBF and VRT, the album was elected by listeners best Belgian record of the year '98. The quartet also appears on one track of the compilation CD "10 ans de Jazz à Liège", recorded at the Liège Festival in 1998. | |
| In February 2004, on the Lyrae label, a second album comes out, titled "SIDES OF LIFE" (Lyrae LY0414-C). On 4 tracks, the nucleus of the quartet has been expanded with guests : Bert JORIS (tp) or Peter HERTMANS (gt), and a string quartet playing Fabrice's composition "Between You and me", arranged by Michel HERR. | |

Porté par l'expérience libératrice de Michel HERR (piano), et Jean-Louis RASSINFOSSE (contrebasse), Fabrice ALLEMAN nous emporte dans un flux mélodique totalement irrésistible. Capable de donner toutes les humeurs possibles à ses saxophones, d'épurer au plus haut point les phrases ou d'en faire de véritables vociférations, ce saxophoniste vous emmène au travers d'une musique à vivre sur le moment, empreinte d'énergie, de modernité et d'émotions. Il n'est pas étonnant dès lors de voir ce quartet, au plus haut niveau de la scène belge du jazz, s'attribuer le Prix Nicolas Dor 1997, qui récompense la meilleure prestation d'un musicien belge à l'occasion du festival international de JAZZ à LIEGE. Prestation qui a donné lieu à un premier CD ("Loop the Loop" - Igloo IGL 143) et qui complété de 5 compositions enregistrées en studio a été salué par la presse et par le public; en effet, il a été élu, au referendum RTBF-VRT "MEILLEUR ALBUM JAZZ 1998". Depuis, ils ont été invités dans de nombreux festivals : "Brussels jazz marathon", "Jazz in't' park", "Festival international de jazz de Liège", "Ciney jazz night", tournée et festival des Lundis d'Hortense", "Nam'in jazz", "Gaume jazz festival", en première partie de Michel PETRUCCIANI à l'"Audi jazz festival", Festival international de SAINT-LOUIS du SENEGAL, Alençon, "Festival Joly Jazz" ,etc . La continuelle évolution de ce Quartet homogène le pousse perpétuellement à de nouvelles perspectives qui se concrétisent par un nouveau CD, qui vient de sortir : "SIDES OF LIFE" (Lyrae LY0414-C). Enraciné dans le jazz, ce groupe complice et créatif défend une modernité qui ne dérange en rien cette fabuleuse valeur qu'est le partage de l'émotion et du moment. | ||

A more electric band, which did its first appearance at the Mons Cap Sud Festival '99, during which Fabrice had received a "carte blanche". Electric instruments, hip grooves, a touch of acid jazz, some celtic colours, and an occasional drum loop on which all the soloists of the band have a chance to stretch. Smoking and amazing.
