Now with multiple tours of Belgium and the western U.S. under their belts, Seattle-based trumpeter Chad McCullough and pianist Bram Weijters from Antwerp present their second recording of modern, lyrical originals. With bassist Piet Verbist and drummer John Bishop, the quartet creates a perpetually unhurried environment where melodies can unfurl over harmonically compelling compositions. Bram displays a Brad Mehldau-like touch on his Buildings in a Dark City, McCulloughs burnished flugelhorn searches on Nightingale. ... a deliberate feast, which very sympathetically wins over the listener. - Jazz Flits, Netherlands.
