How much saxophone is enough saxophone?

Little snippet of some saxophone-mania at our first gig at Orange Jazz Days. We had a lot of fun, and we can hopefully tell you soon about our plans for 2027! #gigs #flux #newmusic by @willemabelen

New single alarm!! Next Friday we will release the second and last single of our upcoming album Everything Is Fine, called Slobfest. As you can guess, it’s about the millions of AI slob-pictures, texts and videos that are taking over the internet. Next Friday you will find out if we are happy about this or mad, you can’t win a refrigerator if you guessed right.
Pre-save Slobfest would be appreciated! Link in bio by @willemabelen

First review is here!

Last Friday we performed our new music for the first time live at Orange Jazz Days in TivoliVredenburg. Arjan Klaver was there for Jazzism, and this is what he wrote. Thank you for the kind words!

“The music flows, drives and breathes. In short: breathtaking.”

Review translated from Dutch. Original published by Jazzism.

This Friday we are going to play again at the lovely @haarlemjazzunderground !

This Friday is a big one. We're playing Orange Jazz Days (TivoliVredenburg, 22:00), and on the same day we're releasing A Way Out, the first single from our new album Everything Is Fine.

A Way Out is about technology and AI taking over more and more of our lives, and about the fact that we still get to decide how we deal with that if we act quickly. More on that soon.

Pre-save the single through the link in bio and help us climb the Mount Everest of Algorithms...

Nieuwe Substack! Over AI-jazz en hoeveel streaminginkomsten het eerste album van FLUX me tot nu toe heeft opgeleverd. Spoiler; valt tegen. Tenzij je verwachting heel laag is, dan klopt het behoorlijk. Link in m’n bio, abonneer ook vooral zodat je al m’n nieuwsbrieven in je mailbox krijgt. Enjoy! by @willemabelen

Hello hello! While I’m keeping myself busy with some very exciting FLUX-stuff, a new Substack and more projects, I’m also playing some nice gigs these days:

- Tonight I play twice at Gouda Jazz, first with the masters of Funk, @supermoonfunk , followed by a set by the masters of blues and rock’nroll, @marlonpichel and his band. 19:00 and 22:00 at Podium Achter De Kerk
- next week I’m playing with @longolongo_band at the great MadNes Festival in Ameland! July 3
- followed by a feature as a guest soloist with the epic @junxion.band at the Effenaar in Eindhoven, July 4!

And also Zwarte Cross with @longolongo_band a little bit later, July 17

Cheers! by @willemabelen
