Wing –Chester is the chaotic meeting between the critical beats and mad rhythms of Teun ( who improvised for two hours in a studio) and the avant-garde melodies and heavy guitars of Pierre ( who builded all the rest in a few days at home).
It is the meeting of the ‘Gilles de Binche’, Max Roach, Zappa and Cowboy Bebop !
