The Sunday Times, january 2007: Some groups are born to make records; others are put on this plane to raise the spirits of audiences. The gang of devil-may-care folkjazzers known as Jaune Toujours belong in the latter camp. Based in Brussels, the self-styled ³kick-ass roots band² are one of those unpredictable, endlessly eclectic outfits who manage to assimilate countless influences, from gypsy wedding band to reggae and oldschool musette. Are the results ragged at times? Yes, undeniably, but the combination of trumpets, saxophone and Piet Marisıs high-spirited accordion generates irresistible joie de vivre. Clive Davis |
