Somewhere between Ornette Coleman and classical chamber music, TAKE THE DUCK's music is also influenced by many modern jazz artists. A concert of “TAKE THE DUCK" is always an adventure full of surprises, grooves and colours, swing and good energy. The horns blend and paraphrase almost telepathically and leave to the creative rhythm section a lot of space for grooves and ideas. The instruments of the band can have different roles, for instance the horns improvising together or comping the other instruments.
They perform regulary in Belgium, Holland, Austria, Spain and Germany. Their concert at the “Jazz al Parque" Festival in Bogota (Colombia) in september 2001 was a great success.
Their first CD Resolution (recorded in Brussels in February 2002) is out now. It is distributed by Extraplatte (Austria) and Baltic (Benelux) and produced by Ducktone Productions. It features the quartet and two guest bassplayers: Nic Thys and Eric van der Westen.
