In this vibrant production, Vloeimans’ own compositions are once again cast in a big band setting: grand, funky and swinging. “The distinctive approach, energy and sound of Licks & Brains creates an entirely new atmosphere around my music,” says Vloeimans.

The impressive repertoire of Licks & Brains also comes to life once more. The eighteen-piece band delivers an irresistible mix of brass, electronic grooves and Vloeimans’ adventurous playing. The result is a musical journey that moves between jazz, afro-funk, minimal music, soul, funk and dance. “With Vloeimans’ compositions, we explore new musical paths that other big bands usually do not dare to take.” It is no surprise that the members of Licks & Brains are hugely enthusiastic about this renewed collaboration.
