ODG096 : Ben Sluijs Quartet / Seasounds




ODG096 : Ben Sluijs Quartet / Seasounds

Another reissue from the Ben Sluijs Quartet ( see also OCD039ODG086 and ODG095) 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!


‘Dit kwartet is intussen heel hecht geworden met vloeiende stokwisselingen en een bijzonder zwierig samenspel. ....Dit kwartet mag dan wel veel idiomen tegelijk omarmen, het doet dat altijd met inzicht, overgave en stillistische verfijning.’ (D.Wijnants)

Originally released as W.E.R.F. 024.

Digital release on the 1st of March 2019.

Track listing:

1: Zin-Zen
2: My Foolish Heart
3: Tikidanke
