It consist of new interpretations of Belgian (or at least with a Belgian touch) jazz rock from the seventies.

during the covid lock downs, while keeping the live atmosphere.
Hope you like it!

New single + preorder Bram Weijters' Crazy Men.
Check it out here
Our new single is our version of Nineteen Seventy Fourths, a composition played and recorded by Philip Catherine in 1974. We’ve drawn inspiration from live versions at Jazz Middelheim back then, and took our own improvisational approach and added some Crazy Men-spices.
Enjoy!

Working on our project "Crazy Men”
Crazy Men is a quest to the roots of belgian fusion and jazzrock.
Departing from Koen de Bruyne’s remarkable album:
"Here comes The Crazy Man” from 1974,
we dive into Belgium's most adventitious music from that era.
After the première at De Singel,
we do a "Jazz Lab Series" - tour in February.
