"Since relocating from his native Belgium to New York City, superb drummer and wily composer Raf Vertessen has ingratiated his talents into the region’s always burgeoning improv and avant-garde musicscape, performing with upper-echelon musicians, evidenced on this first-rate debut as a leader.
Avant Music News US (07/11/2020)
LOI is an intriguing and compelling release from a relative newcomer. It covers a great deal of ground sonically and texturally. Case in point, there is a certain playfulness to some of Vertessen’s tunes that breaks up what is otherwise a serious and attention-demanding listen. Highly recommended."
This concert is hosted by Batavier Allesandro Fongaro.
