The limited setting of this trio - accordion, soprano saxophone and double bass - evokes creativity and imagination. The research of sounds and new possibilities on the instruments results in a very personal and organic way of playing their own original compositions, spiced with interaction and improvisation. Some people call it 'jazz', others say 'world' or 'imaginary'... the choice is up to you.

The music of Tricycle is an energetic, comprehensible creation with a visual
character. Tricycle addresses himself to a large, curious and adventurous
audience. The original compositions of the band, tinted with nostalgia, evoke,
in a blithely and subtly way, the old stereotypes.

After the release of their first album 'Orange for Tea', at the end of 2004
in Belgium, the band has made a great move forward. With more than 60 concerts over 8 months, they have played in festivals of Jazz, World Music, renowned music
halls like 'Le Palais des Beaux Arts' in Brussels... Abroad, they have played
on-stage in Brazil, France, Germany, China, Romania and in ' Maisons de culture' (culture houses) in Quebec (March 2006).

The group also received 3 nominations for the prestigious award 'Les octaves de
la Musique' (2005 edition) of the council of the music (Communauté française), the Sabam and RTL radio...: nominations for 'Best Jazz Band', 'Spectacle/concert of the
season' and 'Artist of the season'.

After several years working in trio, and on the occasion of the release of his
second CD, 'Tricycle' takes the liberty to invite three great Jazz and World
Music musicians in Belgium: Laurent Blondiau, trumpet, Chris Joris, percussions
and Victor da Costa, guitar. This new formula enables them to enrich even more
the sound and rhythmic pallet of the trio.
