THE WOFO SEXTETTE

Besides original compositions, Belgian ensemble WOFO (With Others, For Others) also performs the music of Raymond Scott.

Just to make me drool, I received the setlist of the concert that the Wofo Sextette did at the Plusetage in Baarle Nassau, a couple of months ago. A concert that I missed due to a temporary malfunctioning memory. Shame on me.
