Little by little after jammin' encounters in Antwerp and participating in Piet Verbist's Flamenco Jazz Unit I found that thes guys are the perfect teamm to play my own compositions.
It's jazz, it swings, and exciting unexpected stuff happens with these guys on stage:
Tom Van Dyck writes the tunes and appears on soprano & alto saxophones.
Milan Verbist on piano
Piet Verbist on double bass
Wim Eggermont on drums
Piet released recently the cd and the youtube video of a project I was very pleased to be able to participate in. This all happened between March and December 23 - smal gigs wih a partial band, a bit of rehearsing and then the final get together with the Andalusian crew Carmelo, Carlos & Juan in September in Geel and in December 2023 in De Singel and Hnita Hoeve. I hope this project can live on!

2 days of recording of which one we invited Oene van Geel to join us in some songs. On 5 of the 11 tacks to be precise.

Did you ever play Frisbee with some friends? Throw the disk, knowing approximately where it will land but really a last minute run, dive, jump to grasp it before it touches ground.
That’s the way these 3 weeks in August 2020 felt that followed Oene van Geel’s proposal to Tom Van Dyck: “What if we send each other some audio files and see what happens?”.
