Massot/Florizoone/Horbaczewski
(Belgium)
Tuur Florizoone (accordion), Michel Massot (tuba & trombone) and Marine Horbaczewski (cello).
These three musicians allow themselves to improvise and exploit a rich pallet of ambiances, passing through the most strange, unexpected, happy and above all emotional sounds of their instruments.
Tuur Florizoone (Tricycle, aNOO, Musicazur, Quentin Dujardin) started playing piano at the age of six and learned later on marimba. At the age of seventeen he moved to Brazil to work on a project with street kids. At the same time he learned to play the accordion. At his return, he joined the Royal Conservatory and studied jazz piano and composition. He is the leader of the band Trycicle and recorded three albums with Sahava Seewald on Tzadik, the well-know label of John Zorn.
Michel Massot (Trio Grande, Rêve d’éléphant Orchestra), studied at the Conservatory of Liège and got involved in the avant-garde and worked with a.o. Henri Pousseur and Garrett List. He founded in the Eighties Trio Bravo with Fabrizio Cassol (Aka Moon) and Michel Debrulle. He also worked with a.o. Evan Parker, Kris Defoort, Louis Sclavis and Kenny Wheeler.
Marine Horbaczewski (Wang Wei) also studied at the Conservatory of Liège and was awarded with premier prix for cello and chamber music. Besides experimental bands, as this trio, she’s active in classic ensembles.

MazzMuzikas: “ ... cinematographic music, now and then melancholic, sometimes pure joie de vivre and sunshine. In a nutshell: live as it is. Simple melody lines are empowered with rhythmic details and unexpected moves, keeping it thrilling. Everything has been organised to cherish that very broad feeling, referring to the album cover. Adding a little surreal humour made the picture complete...”
Moorsmagazine.com: “.. another instrumental album with Tuur Florizoone’s accordion in one of the three leading parts. Marine Horbaczewski plays cello and, the unexpected component of the trio, Michel Massot on tuba, euphonium and trombone. The result is music with a folk attitude, but performed and improvised in an avant-garde jazzy way, that kept its natural swing...”
