The team of Tobias Klein/as, Bart Maris/tp, John Dikeman/ts, Jasper Stadhouders/g, Goncalo Almeida/b and Philipp Moser/dr create thick originals that range from R&B to tricky post bop. The horns get in your face on the relentless riff of “Tatiana” and punch hard on “Explode The Paradox”. Lots of sharp turns on “The Big Brother” and ricocheting sounds on “Embrace the Contradictions”, with the team grooving hard on “Boiling Up Beautifully”. Whoopy Cushion subtlety.
