Fred Delplancq: Horizons
ByWith a decisively alpha-hard edge to his horn, Delplancq and his emphatic henchmen, free-wheeling pianist Vincent Bruyninckx, bassist Sam Gerstmans, and drummer Toon Van Dionant, enthusiastically pull and piston the leader's meaty, often moody compositions (and the samba-pop, lone non-original "Il a neigé sur yesterday") into absorbing, elastic workouts, ("Fritland," "L'aurore.")
The high point of Horizons is the musical interplay, with each track testifying to each player's innate desire to improvise and explore on his own, while having a hell of a time working together as a creative, and creating, unit.
