Arne Van Coillie Unit
In this Unit, musicians are not told what and how to play on a certain tune: actually, they were carefully selected because of their ability to play 'their own'. They should however do that with the material Arne provides - originals, and some lesser known standards: with this Unit, he definitely wants to present himself as a composer and arranger, not only as an improviser. He writes within a contemporary postbop tradition, with swing and harmonic richness (and sometimes subtle complexity) being the main ingredients.
