Read "Never Pet a Burning Dog" reviewed by Mark Redlefsen


Guitarist Michel Deville, of the Belgian Wrong Object, and British keyboardist Alex Maguire team up to form a power trio with drummer Tony Bianco as doubt, on its debut, Never Pet a Burning Dog. Deville steps out with a louder, more direct tone, affectionately and more overtly exposing the influence of Terje Rypdal--even including one of ...

Read "Brewed in Belgium" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Read "Brewed In Belgium" reviewed by Nic Jones


Keyboard player Alex Maguire has worked with the present day incarnation of the British band Hatfield and the North and clearly he has more than sufficient chops to deal with a range of musical situations.

Alex Maguire Sextet: Brewed in Belgium

Read "Brewed in Belgium" reviewed by John Kelman


While calling them a pick-up band would be unfairly dismissive, the members of Belgium's The Wrong Object sure do get around. Since 2007, in addition to its own Stories from the Shed (Moonjune, 2008), TWO has collaborated with British trombonist Annie Whitehead and trumpeter Harry Beckett on Platform One (Jazzprint, 2007), and Elton Dean on The ...
