about
For their third outing, the multi-national band led by pianist Bram Weijters and trumpeter Chad McCullough firmly establish a musical style and concept that's equal parts melancholic and hopeful.
The group covers even more musical ground than before, seamlessly weaving the tapestry of colors present throughout the tunes.
The opening track, "Billions" hits the ground running, and the tunes stretch from gospel-inspired ("Glorious Traffic Jam") to pensive ("Hesitation"), and folk-like ("Winter's Lament").
The two co-leaders explore an intimate duo setting on "The Same Prelude" and "Before Acceptance" which provides a stark contrast to the full band, and continues to delve into the compositional and tonal beauty of these artists.

Small Zoo
by Hamster Axis of the one-click PantherHamster Axis of the One-Click Panther is another jazz group i'm playing with. Two saxophones, a little sauce of free improv, some humor and a lot of risks : jazz, like it should sound nowadays...

This is a trio with heavy guitars and drums, with one of my favorite drummers...

Koen Nys is a great tenor saxophone player, I'm playing with. This is a beautiful album, deeply grounded in the jazz tradition.

Powerful playing on this album! Wow Alexi is killing it with Herbie Hancock sensibilities!!! This is a tight-knit trio and add Verneri Pohjola on trumpet to the mix and you have one hell of a recording. Man, I ordered the vinyl and looking forward to giving this one repeated spins.
