Tricycle was called together in 1999 by the Belgian accordionist/pianist Tuur Florizoone. The limited setting of this trio – accordion, soprano saxophone and double bass – evokes creativity and imagination. The research of sounds and new possibilities of the instruments results in a very personal and organic way of playing their own original compositions, spiced with interaction and improvisation.

Some people call it 'jazz', others say 'world' or 'imaginary'... the choice is up to the listener.

Since the release of their first album 'ORANGE FOR TEA' in December 2004 they played many concerts in Belgium and elsewhere: Canada , Brazil , China , France , Germany , a.s.o.
