about

"A short but sparkling exposition of a musician who became “incontournable” in the Belgian jazz-scene.
A modest but beautifull demonstration of the versatility Ben Sluijs has to offer. At the same time the album works as a perfect counterbalance to instrumental overkill.
Simplicity characterises the great ones." Enola 25-01-2018
