The Victor Rice Septet gathers some of the finest musicians in the scene around Victor Rice and his most groovy bass in a quest to attain the hypothetical genre of samba-rocksteady. It is Mr Rice himself that claims the aim hasn't been reached yet. Still, believe you me, the rhytmic patterns created in the process add a very fresh and original vibe to the sound of this very classy ensemble. Their newest album, recorded in Charleroi at the Pum Pum Hotel, will be presented for the first time here !!
