Ivan PADUART - Alone - Ref: @002
Piano solo

What does the word 'alone' bring to mind? solo - rough - pure - naked - fragile - transparent sincere - quintessential - vital - simple - profound - straightforward uncontrived...
This record is probably the greatest risk I have taken since my first attempts at immortalizing sonic emotions, and I hope to have been as spontaneous as a child's laughter.

May these few notes conjure up pictures, colours and feelings that cannot be translated into
any worldly language.

Pirotton-Houben incorporation :

Steve Houben (saxophone, flute) - Jacques Pirotton (guitar) - Philippe Thuriot (accordion) - Stephan Pougin (drums, percussions) - Sam Gerstmans (bass)

The musical approach that became this quintet's trademark, since few years now, is playing a kind of music that is of our liking without really bothering to stop and reflect whether it is to be stamped or not as jazz.This has made us rub shoulders with Jean-Sébastien Bach, Charlie Parker, the ‘60ies, les fourmis, traditional Irish European and other music, trash, Gershwin, pure jazz, etc...

My French Heart

Ivan PADUART (piano) - Philippe AERTS (bass) - Franck AGULHON (drums)

For different reasons, this CD was a challenge (I love challenges...). First, because it's hard to express on the piano (percussive instrument), what can the singers express, with all the possibilities of the voice. When singers stretch the notes, playing with their personal tone, inflexions and portamentos which make their "signature", what can I do with my fingers for giving the same effect ? Not that much...then, I've to do it differently...keeping the essence but changing the form...

There lays the difference and you will here that!

Still Boogyin

Renaud PATIGNY (vocal, piano) - André RONSSE (alto sax) - Peter VERHAS (tenor sax) Bob DARTSCH (drums) - John VALCKE (double bass)
The program of the album CD "Still Boogyin' " is comprised of a number of small paintings turned into music. "Benin City Queen's Eyes", is a suggestive illusion about the sculptural  beauty of a Nigerian girlfriend. "Boogie Soldier", is a special fusion of boogie with other sounds, it is not really military!! "Danke Schön Amadeus", is a very special tribute to Mozart. This whole series of small stories sometimes tender, sometimes funny, but never sad, help bring the CD to life. The lyrics were written by Christine Jones.
