Originally from Luxembourg but now based in Brussels, Belgium, this bassplayer who has been a sideman for many years, finally takes the time to present his own compositions in an acoustic jazz quartet setting.

For years, Tape Five has expanding global record sales and millions of Spotify streams, it´s albums frequently appear in the top 40 charts of the big international online-retailers… Selected songs can be found on about a thousand compilations (“Café del Mar”, “Campari Lounge”, “Swing Mania” and many more), they can be heard on Ad-campaigns from Spain and Hongkong to the USA and are playlisted on countless radio stations. The brandnew album “Circus Maximus” is convincing with it´s irresistable pop mass appeal Martin Strathausen, ring leader and director of this melting pot, welcomes his top artists into his Circus tent or rather his studio arena. Once again the tried, tested and trusted Tape Five brass section, and the vocals of Brenda Boykin (California), Henrik Wager and Iain Mackenzie (both UK).

A prolific, award-winning Italian trumpet and flügelhorn player known for his warm tone and lyrical style. His style is based on the classic Miles Davis sound of the '50s, and the very lineup of his quintet is reminiscent of Davis' group, with excellent tenor Tino Tracanna. They mostly play originals and the music flows fresh and engaging, never a mere imitation.
