Accordionist Tuur Florizoone (°1978) hasvery quickly grown into the most adored musician in Flanders. With anirresistibly stylish stage presence, the Belgian accordionist Tuur Florizoone(°1978) set out to prove that his unusual instrument is capable of a lot morethan your regular street corner shenanigans. Jazz is only one of the many typesof music this musical world citizen has in his kit bag. The fact that he iscomfortable in pop as well as in world music is obvious from the endless listof names with whom he has shared the stage or the recording studio: PhilipCatherine, Carlos Nunez, Alfredo Marcucci, Zahava Seewald, Chris Joris, RoccoGranata, Jo Lemaire, … In 2008, during the prestigious World Soundtrack Awards(Ghent), the public were completely enamoured with his passionate score for theFlemish movie Aanrijding in Moscou (directed by Christophe Van Rompaey). Thesoundtrack's international success leads us to believe that Tuur is well on hisway to becoming our own Yann Tiersen. Melancholic and simple melodies that leadinto an all-embracing palette of emotions and colours are Tuur's forte. Makingas much music as possible with as few resources as possible. No wonder heprefers the intimacy of a trio. To name a few of Florizoone’s bands: hebewitched the public with Tricycle (alongside Vincent Noiret and PhilippeLaloy. (Check www.tricycle.be ), he is setto seduce once more with his somewhat curious, but energetic trio,‘Massot/Florizoone/Horbaczewski’. Or, how the opulence of a symphony orchestracan hide within the reduced combination of an accordion, a cello and a tuba. www.myspace.com/massotflorizoonehorbaczewski.
