Gare du Nord - Sex 'n' Jazz - Vol. 1 Of A Love Trilogy (2007)

Gare du Nord is a Dutch-Belgian jazz band, originally consisting of Doc (Ferdi Lancee) and Inca (Barend Fransen). Doc played guitar and Inca played saxophone, while both performed vocal duties. 

After the pair split up in 2013, the band continued to work and tour with a different line-up. 

Dutch guitarist Ferdi Lancee (real name: Ferdy Dousenbach, born October 21, 1953 in Tilburg) and saxophone player Barend Fransen (born January 4, 1959 in Helmond) started working together in 2001, when they started writing lounge music in Belgium. 

They signed a record deal with Play It Again Sam Records in Brussels, and released the albums (In Search Of) Excellounge (2001) and Kind Of Cool (2002).

Gare du Nord recorded the single "Ride On" with British singer Paul Carrack. This song appears on their fourth album, Sex 'n' Jazz (2007). 

The Sex 'n'Jazz album, the first of a trilogy, offers 13 new originals and features guest performances by Italian singer Dorona Alberti, British pop/rock legend Paul Carrack and legendary soul singer Marvin Gaye (sampled). Among the new tracks is the soul blues track Ride On, written and recorded with singer-songwriter Paul Carrack. 

Also included is the track You're My Medicine, written for the new bio-pic Sexual Healing based on the life of legendary soul singer Marvin Gaye. 

 This track features the original vocal track from Marvin's classic 1982 hit single Sexual Healing: it is the very first time for a European release that Sony/BMG New York has given the permission to use the original master track for a new song. 

Sex 'n' Jazz, the album, comes as a deluxe limited edition digipack with artwork designed by famous fashion designer Marlies Dekkers
