VANSINA ORCHESTRA - MORNING FOREST AKA NOSE UP BOTTOM DOWN

Bruno Vansina plays the saxophone in Flat Earth Society. He also has a number of albums out on  Rat Records, the record label that he founded together with Teun Verbruggen in 2003. Two albums as the Vansina / Verbruggen / Gudmundsson trio, and at least one under his own name.

And now there's "Morning Forest aka Nose Up Bottom Down", where Bruno Vansina has gathered what one might call a Wazoo Orchestra.
Next to Bruno Vansina (alto sax), Christian Mendozza (piano), Bert Cools (guitar), Stefan Lievestro (bass) and Teun Verbruggen (drums), the guest list provides : flute, clarinet, saxes, oboe, bassoon, french horn, trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone and an euphonium.

Beautiful compositions, superb arrangements and fine improvisations.

Highly recommended !
