Officially out today and available on vinyl, first release on sublabel Cortizona Heritage, in co-operation with Studiecentrum Vlaamse Muziek:

WIM FANFARE - Free Music (1975 - 1988)

(250 copies, Bandcamp-link in bio)

WIM FANFARE was formed by Fred Van Hove in 1975 to announce the newly started annual Free Music Festival in Antwerp, Belgium. Together with his musical fellows Ivo Vander Borght, André Goudbeek & Cel Overberghe they emerged as the unruly street-arm of the Werkgroep Improviserende Musici (Workshop for Improvising Musicians).

Delivering a unique sound and blending the exuberance of a marching band with the unpredictability of free improvisation, they brought raw, joyful musical jazz to city squares & unsuspecting audiences.

This lp documents a remarkable ensemble and lesser-known period in Fred Van Hove’s inimitable career.

With never before published photographs by Gérard Rouy, extra insert with drawing by Cel Overberghe and expanded liner notes.

Very special shout out to Arne D'hondt for assisting my for about 7 years with the label and listening to all my nagging on the phone. Very very much appreciated ❤️
