About the album

Embarking on an exhilarating journey into uncharted musical territories, pianist Bram De Looze assembles a quartet of extraordinary talent, featuring Joey Baron on drums, Thomas Morgan on double bass, and Hank Roberts on cello. This convergence of masterful musicians promises a transcendental exploration of sonic landscapes, where spontaneity, intuition, and boundless creativity intertwine.

“This is a beautiful and special encounter for me, to work together with these three incredible personalities. All of them have a unique sound and character as players, and they have a high instinct for interplay among each other. It’s interesting to follow where the music goes. To observe who’s aware of what, and decides to go for searching, supporting or creating tension. Curiosity is central, combined with trust and generosity.” – Bram De Looze

At Brussels Jazz Festival in Flagey, the four musicians proved to be world class storytellers through music. With unexpected twists and turns, they weaved an evocative narrative, always supporting the music, claiming the moment as a group without feeling the need to overpower each other. This magical performance was captured by VRT Radio Klara and, luckily, will be enjoyed for generations.

Der Pianist Bram De Looze begibt sich auf eine aufregende Reise in unbekannte musikalische Gefilde und versammelt um sich ein Quartett außergewöhnlicher Talente: Joey Baron am Schlagzeug, Thomas Morgan am Kontrabass und Hank Roberts am Cello. Dieses Zusammentreffen meisterhafter Musiker verspricht eine transzendentale Erkundung von Klanglandschaften, in denen Spontaneität, Intuition und grenzenlose Kreativität miteinander verschmelzen.
„Für mich ist es eine wunderbare und besondere Begegnung, mit diesen drei unglaublichen Persönlichkeiten zusammenzuarbeiten. Als Musiker haben sie alle einen einzigartigen Klang und Charakter und ein feines Gespür für das Zusammenspiel. Es ist interessant zu sehen, wohin die Musik geht. Zu beobachten, wer sich dessen bewusst ist und sich entscheidet, etwas zu suchen, zu unterstützen oder Spannung zu erzeugen. Neugier ist entscheidend, gepaart mit Vertrauen und Großzügigkeit. - Bram De Looze Beim Brussels Jazz Festival in Flagey bewiesen die vier Musiker, dass sie mit Musik Geschichten von Weltklasse erzählen können. Mit unerwarteten Wendungen woben sie eine bewegende Erzählung, die stets die Musik unterstützte und den Moment als Gruppe einforderte, ohne das Bedürfnis zu verspüren, sich gegenseitig zu übertönen. Diese magische Aufführung wurde von VRT Radio Klara aufgezeichnet und wird glücklicherweise noch Generationen von Menschen erfreuen.
