KOEN DE BRUYNE-HERE COMES THE CRAZY MAN!, LP, 1974, BELGIUM


Damn fine Belgian funky fusion with a distinctive dual trumpet front-line and some obvious overtones of Belgium's most high profile jazz rockers, Placebo. Mr De Bruyne's the one tickling the ivories and unfurling the occasional bed of synth syrup, but it's his bandmates' show every bit as much as his, with the overt brassiness of this at times suggesting Chicago in their early ChicagoTransit Authority days. Butressed by guest spots for whirligig flute and breathily cooing Flora Purim-like vocalese, this is just what the doctor ordered.

Band's actually more related to Janko Nilovic's Mad Unity than to Placebo. With all due respect to the genius of Marc Moulin c.s. but everytime Belgium & jazz come in the same phrase, you get that annoying Placebo mention.

Hi,
It would be nice if you shared his album 1978 - In Kluis.

Thanks.
