This is fabulous jazz. Reminiscent of Miles Davis, Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard bands of the 60's and 70's. Superb modern rhythms and percussion. I've always loved the slight dissonance between trumpets and saxophones. This band should be better known than they are. ---bloojag, amazon.com
MONSIEUR DUBOUIS was a improvisational jam and funk band from Netherlands formed in 1999 and disbanded in 2012. The band enjoyed some fame from international press and in their homeland with their first two albums being in jazz charts for many months, called the best Dutch jazz albums of the decade, and the debut album received a nomination for Edison Award (the Dutch Grammy). While the last album isn't as serious or experimental and might turn prog fans away, MONSIEUR DUBOIS'S early work might attract fans of nu jazz and complex groove based funk music. ---progarchives.com
