Bl!ndman

Unusually successful among contemporary music groupings, the Belgian collective BL!NDMAN has recorded for major labels. Since 2008, BL!NDMAN has comprised four separate quartets. BL!NDMAN was founded by saxophonist Eric Sleichim in 1988 as a saxophone quartet. The group made its recording debut in 1999 with the album Dust Makes Damage. Sleichim arranged Bach's chorale partitas for organ into a version for saxophones; the resulting album, BL!NDMAN plays Bach (2002), found wide success. In 2008, BL!NDMAN remade itself into a collective of four separate quartets. BL!NDMAN has made several more recordings, including Water & Fire: Händel Revisited (2017) and ICONS: The American Minimalists (2023).
