Primal Existence

The team of Lieven Cambre'/as, Piet Verbist/b and Jesse Dockx/dr team up for some fun bop and beyond. Cambre' has a sweet as honey tone, gloriously sighing to Verbist's resonant bass on "In Peace with Gravity" and relaxing on the lovely "Ballast". His vibrato gets lonely while Dockx gets frisky on "For Less Than Nothing" and the team snaps joyfully on "My Love You." Dockx brushes up on the soft shoe "To Remember" and delivers a hip grove with Verbist on the military "Triads" while giving an urgency to "Temperamental." Sounds win the day on this attractive mix.
