KOEN DE BRUYNE
Genres: Jazz Related Soundtracks, Classic Fusion • Belgium

Damn fine Belgian funky fusion with a distinctive dual trumpet front-line and some obvious overtones of Belgium's most high profile jazz rockers, Placebo. Mr De Bruyne's the one tickling the ivories and unfurling the occasional bed of synth syrup, but it's his bandmates' show every bit as much as his, with the overt brassiness of this at times suggesting Chicago in their early Chicago Transit Authority days. Butressed by guest spots for whirligig flute and breathily cooing Flora Purim-like vocalese, this is just what the doctor ordered. from mutant-sounds.blogspot
