Too Noisy Fish @Izzy Jazzclub Brugge

Peter Vandenberghe (BE): Piano Kristof Roseeuw (BE): Contrabas Teun Verbruggen (BE): Drums Met their new album Tolstoy writes Too Noisy Fish, the trio of Peter Vandenberghe (piano, compositions), Kristof Roseeuw (double bass) and Teun Verbruggen (drums) a new chapter full of freedom and adventure. The trio once again moves effortlessly between composition and improvisation, between order and chaos, between what is prepared and what arises in the moment. Too Noisy Fish first made its mark on the Belgian jazz landscape in 2011 when the rhythm section of the Flat Earth Society Orchestra decided to also start pushing boundaries as a trio. This resulted in four acclaimed albums, including 'Fight Eat Sleep' (named Album of the Year by The New York City Jazz Record) and ‘Too Many Fish: 10 years Too Noisy Fish’, a record celebrating the ten-year existence of the trio by inviting friendly musicians and artists into the studio and onto the stage. With their new album, Too Noisy Fish is back as an idiosyncratic trio. On their fifth album, the band shows how music can be deep and light, sharp and candid at the same time, in line with the apparent contradictions so present in Tolstoy's work. Each piece is a journey, erratic, honest, unpredictable, with freedom and adventure as a compass, without a fixed final destination. The compositions breathe literature: melodies unfold like sentences, rhythms clash like characters, harmonies ask questions instead of giving answers. Too Noisy Fish remains true to its idiosyncratic sound world: sharp, playful, disruptive, but always with a deeply human warmth. Op Tolstoy lets the music move freely between space, silence, humor and melancholy. An album about zest for life, choices and the endless search for meaning; in sound, in silence, in freedom.
