Our Take

Fresh off their hiatus, Bram Weijters and his Crazy Men make a triumphant return with their latest album aptly titled "The Return." This Belgian jazz ensemble brings a unique blend of quirkiness and passion to the table, creating a musical experience that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

From the opening track, "Crazy Times," it's clear that Weijters and his bandmates are not afraid to push the boundaries of traditional jazz. Their experimental approach to instrumentation and arrangements keeps listeners on their toes, never quite sure what to expect next.

Tracks like "Funky Town" and "Jazz Hands" showcase the band's infectious energy and tight musicianship, while slower tunes like "Midnight Serenade" and "Reflecting Stars" demonstrate their emotional depth and sensitivity.

Weijters' keyboard skills are nothing short of impressive, effortlessly weaving in and out of the band's complex compositions with finesse. The other members of the Crazy Men, including drummer Lionel Beuvens and saxophonist Steven Delannoye, also shine with their stellar performances throughout the album.

Overall, "The Return" is a delightful mix of playful experimentation and heartfelt sincerity, making it a must-listen for jazz aficionados and casual listeners alike. With this album, Bram Weijters and his Crazy Men prove that sometimes it's good to be a little bit crazy.
