Ben Sluijs Quartet - Seasounds (2019)

Another reissue from the Ben Sluijs Quartet originally released in 2001 on the W.E.R.F. label, Seasounds was recorded live at the famous little Brussels jazz club 'Le Travers' days before it closed.

Except for one standard composition 'My Foolish Heart' from Chet Baker, the five remaining songs are from Ben Sluijs, typically composed in his 'bop' style of that time. A pure pleasure!

'In the meantime this quartet has become very close with fluent stick swings and a particularly elegant interplay. .... This quartet may embrace many idioms at the same time, it always does that with insight, surrender and still-stylistic refinement. "(D.Wijnants)
