Tuur
Florizoone
Tuur Florizoone (1978) studied jazz and popular music at the University College Conservatory in Ghent. Today he is a renowned accordion player. Indeed, with great flair and an irresistible stage presence, he has proved that his unusual instrument is capable of more than the usual sentimental ditties one hears on street corners.
For
this musical citizen of the world, jazz is just one of the many
musical genres he carries in his duffle bag.
The fact that he feels
equally at home in pop or world music is evident from the seemingly
endless list of names he has performed with on stage or in the
recording studio: Philip Catherine, Jean Louis Matinier, Carlos
Nunez, Manu Chao, Alfredo Marcucci, Zahava Seewald, Chris Joris,
Rocco Granata, Jo Lemaire, etc.
Florizoone plays in a host of different bands and also has his own record label - Aventura Musica - for which he has also produced several CDs by his trio Tricycle, the Massot/Florizoone/Horbaczewski trio and the afro folk group Mix Tuur.
