Van Egdom takes ev'rything out of the closet to show that he
can not only give a CD such a name, but can also live up to
it.
Ray Simoen on HYBRID GROOVE
Van Egdom's HYBRID GROOVE: after 5 CD's, a consistent
step ev'ry time, divergent music and still he tells a story that
remains recognizable and typical Van Egdom. Prime!
Jempie Welkenhuyzen, Boulevard in Attent Magazine.
All breaks are loose, dog-hard stringtricks are not shun. Van
Egdom's craftmanship goes absolutely without discussion. He
can easily make the major league of fusion-jazz.
Paul vd Steen, Land van Weert on HYBRID GROOVE
HYBRID GROOVE: The CULEA-KID, obstinate as ever, and
