About the album
This is the first album of the Ramon van Merkenstein Trio, with Lieven Venken on drums and Gabriele di Franco on guitar. Ramon is a much sought-after bassist and he teaches at various music academies in and around Brussels. This album, entitled 'Quiet Dreams', tells the story of the transformation Ramon went through over the past 10 years: about his impressions, his influences and inspiration, and his personal and professional milestones.
