Already acclaimed with an ’Octave de la musique’, ORLANDO are preparing a 2nd album for spring 2024.
Joined by drummer Teun Verbruggen (Jef Neve Trio, FES, Alexi Tuomarila, Paolo Fresu), and Parisians Florent Nisse (David Enhco, Yaron Herman, Michel Portal) on double bass and Maxime Sanchez on piano (Magic Malik, Chris Cheek, Flash Pig), the Franco-Belgian quartet plays airy music, fragile in appearance, touching, but with its feet firmly planted on the ground.
This new music, full of contrasts, is already receiving rave reviews in the international press :
"Extremely impressive, as much for the adventurous nature of Thys’s writing as for the high standard of the performance /.../ a largely full house makes it clear that the artist, who has been much applauded in his own country, has a receptive and substantial audience" Kevin Le Gendre, Jazzwise, UK, 2023
"That drive that leads the band, and the listener, towards music of discovery. Le Soir"
"Toine Thys imbues his singularity with undiminished temperament on an album that is masterful and captivating from start to finish" Jacques Prouvost, Larsen 2020
