Edge of the North II

Music that makes time stand still Sixteen years after the original Bord du Nord, trumpeter Sam Vloemans returns to one of his most beloved projects … and where love breathes, enchantment hides. Vloemans' music is an instrumental, cinematic narrative. Rooted in lyricism, it unfolds with restraint and depth, where space, silence, and texture play a central role. Subtle influences from jazz, tango, chanson, and musette flow together into something that sounds unmistakably Belgian, yet feels boundless. Not a nostalgic repetition, but a mature reinterpretation, inspired by Paris, but rooted in our own soil. Pieter Embrechts described it as "melancholic, timeless themes that make time stand still." Maxazine concluded: "There is no weak composition on this album; they all fight for the title of the most beautiful."
