Energiegeladener moderner Akustikjazz. Ihre Improvisation entwickelt eine unbändige Anziehungskraft. Betörend und verzaubernd spielen Sie Monumente des Jazz genauso wie Eigenkompositionen.

Kurz gesagt: Musik, reich an Vorstellungskraft und Ausdruck, voll von unterschiedlichsten Emotionen, von beruhigend bis hitzig, mit größter Leidenschaft präsentiert.

« My oh my... Three words for last night’s concert: energy, energy, energy. (...) rarely have I seen young jazz musicians play acoustic jazz
with this combination of energy, enthusiasm, joy and technique. (...) The pleasure they took in their music-making was evident, both
visually, in the exchange of looks and smiles, and musically. (...) It is great fun watching this group play together, as they are all visibly
happy to be making music together (...) » Mwanji Ezana (Citizenjazz.com) Concert review | Hopper Jazz Club | Antwerp, September 16, 2003

Modern acoustic evocative jazz. At the moment of initiating improvisation, the musicians develop a strong force of attraction with a defined sonority, infatuating and charming, playing through jazz monuments and personal compositions, where every musician invites
the other to keep on challenging musical frontiers. Clear melodic motifs, gloomy and bright, floating on melancholic waves, in other
words music rich of imagination and expression, filled with altering emotions, going from soothing to violent, always with passion.
Pascal Schumacher (L), a promising representative of the new generation of vibraphone players is a young jazz musician, based in
Brussels, where he surrounds himself with the astonishing piano player Jef Neve (B), a real acrobatic poet on the keyboard, and one of
the strongest rhythm section in Benelux composed of Christophe Devisscher (B) on bass and Teun Verbruggen (B) on drums.
