De Beren Gieren & BRZZVLL are smashing it!



De Beren Gieren & BRZZVLL are smashing it! The past months, they received outstanding 4 & 5 stars reviews from De Morgen, Humo, Focus Knack, De Standaard, Trouw, Written in Music, ... But also: 

"Every one of the 10 tracks is a winner!"   Electronic Sound Magazine on Dug Out Skyscrapers

"One of the more idiosyncratic of the current crop of ‘live’ European piano trios, De Beren Gieren have The Bad Plus’ sense of supersized dynamics to add tot heir quirkily ambient electronic effects and offbeat grooves." Jazzwise (****

"BRZZVLL demonstrate on their third album an absorbing collection of instrumental jazz-fusion that evokes the spirit of Herbie Hancock in the 70s but manages to sound original and relevant rather than derivative and hackneyed." Record Collector Magazine (****)

"Named for the capital of Congo, Brazzaville, this seven-piece Belgian jazz outfit turn out to be more than just Afrobeat revivalists, drawing as much on fusion greats such as Herbie Hancock as Central African rhythms." Q Magazine
