<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the last few months I have been working hard together with MFM Media to build a new site dedicated to the European Jazz scene called:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.jazzineurope.com/"><b>JAZZ IN EUROPE</b></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jazz In Europe is a new English language blog dedicated to all things jazz in Europe. Why English? The answer to this question is rather simple; our goal is to spread the word about all the great jazz talent and happenings in the European jazz scene to the broadest audience that we can reach. Our focus is truly world wide. We believe the best way to achieve this is to communicate to our readers in English.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will feature concert and CD reviews, publish interviews with European and international jazz musicians performing in Europe, Spotlight top European venues and festivals and comment on all the latest news regarding Jazz in Europe. In time we will be adding extra features to the site including among others a Geo-targeted concert diary, video interviews and much more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With this in mind I will be discontinuing this blog effective 31 March 2013</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can find the new site at:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After successful performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival, North Sea Jazz Festival and her recent Portuguese tour, Jazz vocalist Maria Mendes will present her debut CD “Along the road” (Dot Time Records – DT9013) at the North Sea Jazz Club in Amsterdam on the 13th of October 2012.<br /><br />Maria Mendes is one the current rising stars on the jazz scene. In 2011 Maria signed a worldwide recording contract with the New York based jazz label, Dot Time Records. With the release of her debut CD “Along the road” Maria has drawn the attention of both the jazz media and public. The recent Portuguese concerts and the CD presentation in the North Sea Jazz Club mark the start of a concert tour in 2012 – 13 that will see Maria performing throughout Europe, the USA and South America. <br /><br />Maria Mendes is an undeniable talented jazz singer with incredible inventive and unique vocal abilities. Maria is known for her crystal clear voice, creative and exciting phrasing and vocal virtuosity. All these qualities make her singing standing out elegance, charm and vivid charisma. Her culturally rich background has influenced her style with elements of the Bossa Nova’s gentle groove, the melancholy of the Portuguese Fado and the American jazz swing of the early 50s. .<br /><br />Carrying these natural abilities with her on stage, Maria’s performances have provided her with international acclaim, significant awards and rave reviews while at the same time building her a loyal international following. During the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2010 Quincy Jones stated “I see a promising and shining future for this young talented singer”. With the release of “Along the road” we can see that Mr. Jones prediction was right on the money.<br /><br /><b>Concert Details:</b><br />Title: Maria Mendes – CD Presentation<br />Date: Saturday 13th October 2012<br />Time: 9:00 pm <br />Venue: North Sea Jazz Club | Pazzanistraat 1 | 1014 DB AMSTERDAM<br />Tickets: Available from €14.00 | available online at www.northseajazzclub.com <br />Web: www.northseajazzclub.com</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">During the last edition of the Jazz Ahead club night in
Bremen (Germany) I had the pleasure of seeing Greg Diamond, a young NYC based guitar
player. This was for me one of the highlights of Jazz Ahead 2011 and I left the
venue sure that we will be hearing a great deal about this talented guitarist
in the years to come. Surprisingly enough Greg’s second CD “Conduit” landed on
my desk for review a few weeks ago. The
CD features a number of heavy hitting players from the current NYC scene
including Seamus Blake on tenor sax, Henry Cole on drums and Mike Eckroth on
piano, all in all a very impressive lineup.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">The CD features 8 of Greg’s compositions and shows Greg
as not only a wonderful player but a very talented composer as well. Yvette
opens the CD with a unison melody played by guitar and tenor leading into a strong
solo’s from Seamus Blake and Greg. The contemplative “Inertia” follows, Mike
Eckroth on piano sets the tone for a beautiful melody again played in unison by
Greg and Alto saxophonist Brian Hogans. The track gradually develops into a
slow montuno grove and sets the stage for an impressive solo’s from both Greg
and Brian Hogans.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
El Martillo is a 7/4 Latin jazz romp and displays this
rhythm section at its best. In contrast “El
Pozo” provides a vehicle for Greg to demonstrate his affinity with Latin jazz,
his playing on this track displays the utmost taste. Bassist Edward Perez shows
great skill in “Turbulence” with a short but well crafted solo reminiscent of
Scott LaFaro. My personal favorite is the beautiful ballad “Song for Jerry (Mi
Viejo). This well crafted composition is full of surprises and features an
impressive solo from Tenor player Seamus Blake.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Greg Diamond I consider to be one of the most exciting
guitarists that I have heard in years. Although well established in his native
New York City outside of the big apple he is largely unknown. With this release
I am sure he will gain the attention of the international jazz world that he

Recorded in two of Europe's leading jazz venues (Sunset in Paris and the Altes Phandhaus in Cologne) the CD features a combination of original material together with a number of standards. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First cab off the rank is the Brubeck standard In “Your Own Sweet Way”. Dave Liebman opens this straight ahead swinger with a beautiful rendition of the melody leading to a typical Liebman style solo full of harmonic and rhythmic tension. Title track “Lemuria”, composed by pianist Michael Arbenz settles straight into a solid rock groove providing a strong foundation for soloists Liebman and Michael Arbenz to explore the edges of tonality. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The ballad, “I Loves You Porgy”, is a Vein standard and also appears on their first release on Unit records “Porgy & Bess” (UTR 4284). The track opens with a beautiful sax and piano duet, Michael Arbenz continues with a tasteful solo including some very well placed Gershwin style licks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Vein original “Evolution” provides room for bassist Thomas Lähns to show his virtuosity prior to opening up into a free style improvisation leading to a superb drum solo by Florian Arbenz. Next up is Dave Liebmans composition “Climbing”. This track that provides the listener with a soundscape reminiscent of the ECM releases of the early 80’s. While originally written for Bobo Stenson this track appears for the first time on this CD.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The final track on the CD is an arrangement of the Gershwin standard summertime. On this track Lähns bass intro gives way to a complex funk grove, setting the stage for Liebman's sparse but rhythmically complex solo. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once again the brothers Michael and Florian Arbenz (piano, drums) together with bassist Thomas Lähns have delivered a great set that highlights an almost empathic interplay between these talented musicians. Dave Liebman's inspiring playing demonstrates a level of interaction that can only be expected from a group of musicians creating great jazz from a position of mutual respect. Highly recommended.</span><br />

Illness that I am now able to resume my writing activities for the Dutch Jazz
Times. While the last 12 months have been very taxing I received comfort in the
numerous Get well soon mails received. Thanks to all those who took the time to

board with renewed energy and look forward to posting interesting news from the
Dutch and European jazz scene. When I started this blog I had completely
underestimated the amount of work it takes to keep a blog up to date. From what
I hear this is a common mistake. </span></span></span></div>

European musicians get their news out to all those jazz fans throughout the
world. To achieve this I have realized that I need assistance. If you love
jazz, have a good command of English and would like to contribute to the Dutch

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">To kick off the resurrection of the Dutch Jazz Times I
have just posted a review of a great CD released recently on Unit Records from
Swiss trio VEIN featuring Dave Liebman. I am a great fan of piano trios however
I was completely unaware of this group until their CD arrived in my letterbox
for review. What a surprise, great CD and incredible trio. From the press
release it would appear that VEIN together with Dave Liebman will be once again
touring in March 2013. Here is a tip for Dutch clubs, book is band! If this
live CD is any indication, it will be a great concert.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Kevin Ellington Mingus was 3 years old when his grandfather, jazz legend, Charles Mingus passed away. Born in Los Angeles, California in 1976, Kevin grew up distanced from the creative legacy of his grandfather. Kevin started his musical journey at age 10 on guitar switching to double bass a year later, in fact it was not until his early youth that he discovered his grandfather’s passion for the bass.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Kevin attended the University of California, Berkeley furthering his studies in music. While Kevin had a strong upbringing in jazz , it was during his time at UC Berkeley that he became interested in other genres leading to further studies in Argentina during the late 1990s at the Manuel de Falla Music Conservatory where he studied tango, bandoneon and composition with Nestor Marconi. </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Also while at Berkeley Kevin made his first steps into the world of film. Fascinated by the disconnect with reality, Kevin started to document on film the happenings on campus with a camera given to him by his Aunt. Kevin’s passion for film continued after moving to Berlin in 2002 where he ventured into a number of cross media projects combining music with theatre and new media and gaining experience in filming and producing documentaries. Also during this period Kevin worked intensively with Croatian filmmaker Sasa Oreskovic in <i>Soundless Fall of the Gravitation</i> and <i>Rio Pekos</i>.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Kevin’s current project is a feature length documentary titled <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1198687204/charles-mingus-documentary-mingus-on-mingus" target="_blank">“Mingus on Mingus”</a> a documentary of a grandson discovering the truths behind the legend of the grandfather he never knew. There has been so much written about Charles Mingus and many of these stories have been rather exaggerated during the years. In speaking with Kevin recently he stated “with this film I hope to discover the real Charles Mingus, the man behind the legend”. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">The documentary will include many interviews with musicians that knew and worked with Charles including among others Sonny Rollins, Joni Mitchell, Ornette Coleman and Charles McPherson. When asked about their reaction to the project, Kevin stated that everyone is extremely positive about the project and believes that the fact that the documentary is being made by a member of the Mingus family certainly impacted on their reaction. Kevin believes that there is a sense of urgency in the production of the project, with the passing of each year that generation is disappearing; we need to document this as soon as possible.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">To this end Kevin’s production company “Orange then blue”(named after the famous composition by Charles) has launched a crowd funding campaign on <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1198687204/charles-mingus-documentary-mingus-on-mingus" target="_blank">Kickstarter.com</a> to assist in the financing of the project.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">The St. Regis Doha today confirmed that it will be the first St. Regis hotel in the world – and the first venue outside of America to host a Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) jazz club, as part of the unprecedented global partnership between St. Regis Hotels & Resorts and JALC. <br />
<br />
Throughout the Jazz Age, The St. Regis Rooftop Ballroom in the landmark hotel in New York City played host to some of the finest jazz musicians in history. The rich musical legacy is now coming to Qatar thanks to the new agreement, which will bring a range of cultural and educational opportunities to the people of Qatar.<br />
<br />
Jazz at Lincoln Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and growing audiences for jazz. Through this partnership, jazz programming will be developed at The St. Regis Doha, led by Wynton Marsalis, Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, providing both the novice and aficionado the opportunity to experience world-class jazz.<br />
<br />
Tareq Derbas, General Manager, The St. Regis Doha, said: “We are delighted to welcome Jazz at Lincoln Center to its new home at The St. Regis Doha. We have promised our customers unmatched luxury and a rich range of entertainment options, and we believe that our signature venue, Jazz at Lincoln Center Doha, will delight and inspire our guests. I would like to thank our owner and the team responsible for beginning this exciting new era for jazz in the Middle East.” <br />
<br />
The opening of Jazz at Lincoln Center Doha and The St. Regis Doha further solidifies Qatar as an emerging centre of culture, commerce and leisure in the Middle East. The hotel, scheduled to open early next year, promises to bring the legendary St. Regis luxury to this thriving commercial and business region.<br />
<br />
Lisa Schiff, Chairman of JALC stated “We are thrilled with the opportunity to work with St. Regis to reach new audiences and to support our mission of growing and inspiring audiences for jazz around the globe,”.

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Last week I was approached by production company <a href="http://orangethenblue.com/" target="new">Orangethenblue</a> with the question “would I be prepared to assist in the promotion of the crowd funding project for a documentary on the life of Charles Mingus?”. Well how could I say no. As a bass player Charles Mingus was and still is a great inspiration to me and I believe that this film will be a great addition to his legacy. In addition the film will be directed by Kevin Ellington Mingus (grandson of Charles Mingus) bringing a true personal perspective to the production.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">The film will include interviews with legendary musicians including among others Sonny Rollins, Joni Mitchell, Ornette Coleman and Charles McPherson. The documentary will be filmed in locations ranging from India to New York to the Mingus Mill located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the only remaining landmark of the Mingus family settlement. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

By pledging an amount in return for a package of incentives the public can become not only consumers but stakeholders in a project. The Mingus on Mingus project offers a great range of Incentives ranging from copies of the DVD to invitations to the premiere to name just a few. Pledges are only billed when the goal is met and the campaign has ended.</span></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">The Mingus project requires $45,000- to allow Orangethenblue to continue into the next stage of filming, planned for winter 2011 and spring 2012. Funds received will go into the production of the documentary for conducting interviews, travel and accommodation, equipment rental, camera operator as well as archival research fees and editing costs for a promotional trailer. If we exceed our goal, then proceeds will go toward the post-production budget including editing, mastering and licensing.</span></span><br />

His solo albums, ranging from 1996's « Blue » to, more recently, « Longing Belonging Ongoing » (with his Aka Rainbow Crow project) are equally wide-ranging affairs, veering from straightforward pop songs to guitar-noise experiments that recall both Sonny Sharrock and Sonic Youth.</span></span></span><br />

With this new concept Stichting Jazz hopes to give the public more insight into what motivates their favorite jazz hero and add an extra layer to their jazz experience.</span></div><div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

On the 25<sup>th</sup> and the 27<sup>th</sup> of March in the Sugar Factory in Amsterdam, Goudsmit will take the public on a journey through his sources of inspiration, his high and low points and as we can expect from Goudsmit a healthy dose of craziness and humor. An evening with Jazzheld Vertelt gives the public the opportunity to get to know their favorite Dutch jazz artist from inside out, for example, did you know that Anton spends at least one hour per day in the Bath and uses this time to do his administration! Anton will also present some inspirational home video including street musicians playing instruments using their feet due to the fact that their arms are missing or Ugandan musicians using some strange techniques and creating some amazing things. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The public will also have the opportunity to participate. You can send comments and requests via Twitter or engage in the conversation via the Open mic. You can also win prizes with the Jazz Quiz. All in all this will be a great night. I love this idea and as a big fan of Anton Goudsmit will be sitting in the front row.

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Enrico Pieranunzi has long been one of the best-known and appreciated personalities on the world jazz scene. As Pianist, composer, arranger, he has recorded more than seventy cd’s under his own name. Pieranunzi, best known for his work with his American trio, including bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joey Baron has performed at most major jazz festivals from Montreal to Copenhagen,and from Berlin and Madrid to Jerusalem. His latest CD on the label Camjazz is dedicated to the music of Domenico Scarlatti, combining jazz improvisation with classical music.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Coming Saturday in the Bimhuis Pieranunzi teams up with alto saxophonist Rosario Giuliani. Giuliani is one of Europe’s most respected musicians and widely considered among Italy’s best, Giuliani has won numerous European awards and honors and performed with top names like Kenny Wheeler, Randy Brecker, Phil Woods, Cedar Walton and countless others.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

The regulars had already taken up position in the seats at the back of the club. Most of the seats at the front were still empty except for a few of those fans more interested in who else was there (you can pick them a mile away by the way the keep looking over their shoulder or inspecting the state of the wiring hanging from the ceiling. I usually try to sit toward the back however this evening I had a guest with me that wanted to sit up front. Ok then, there are still seats up front behind the band leader, “we should be able to hear everything well here”.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a name='more'></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Well indeed, BANG!!, I can’t remember all that much from the first eight bars, I felt like I had been hit with a ton of bricks. After regaining my composure I realized that the Dual City Concert Band can a great deal more than just playing extremely loud. The band combines an extremely compact sound with a high level of technique. At no point in time did I have the feeling that the players had any difficulty at all negotiating the challenging charts in front of them. These musicians can play it all and play it all last Friday they did. Taste is a personal thing and personally I would have preferred to have heard more bass and piano in the balance particularly in the tutti passages. This is often a problem when the piano and bass are not amplified and in addition the acoustics of the De Tor don’t help a great deal in this aspect.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Don Braden was announced as a New York tenor player as if this was a stamp of quality. As far as I am concerned this is rubbish, not everything that comes out of New York is good, however this is not the case with Don Braden. After the thundering opening from the big band, Braden in consultation with band leader Rini Swinkels decided to begin with Dave Brubeck’s “In Your Own Sweet Way” performed with the bands rhythm section and as he stated in his introduction, in the style of Miles Davis. Most impressive was his beautiful tone that in spite of the breathy sound remained strong.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">During the up tempo pieces Braden displayed enviable technique particularly in the super quick “Cherokee” navigating at least four tonal centers. This piece was counted in very quickly and slowed down somewhat however was a good opportunity for Braden to display is prowess. Braden showed himself to be a strong but humble showman, respectfully accepting the applause not only for himself but also for the rest of the musicians. Braden also had no problem in stepping out of the spotlight allowing room for the other soloists. A quality we have come to expect from American musicians and appreciated here in the Netherlands. Had he have been any more humble we could have expected to see him helping behind the bar in the break.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Hans Kerkhoff</span></b></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Both Villoslada and Galiardo (piano) play tasteful and melodic solo’s on this piece. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

I would appear the every city, town and village has at least one big band either amateur, semi-pro or professional. Big Band 89 falls into the amateur category however based on their performance in Borne last Sunday one could have easily thought this not to be the case.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The concert comprised two sets of mainstream big band repertoire drawn largely from the 40’s and 50’s. The concert opend with Neal Hefti’s “Splanky”. I missed the tutti into that was replaced here with a welcome speech. The band picked up the tempo in the second piece Choo Choo Ch Boogie made famous by Louis Jordan and featured a strong trumpet solo from Marco Wind. Vocalists Wilma van Diepen and Henk Bleumink provided a well balanced vocal set including a duet arrangement of “I thought about you”. The highlight of this set was Quincy Jones beautiful ballad “Quintessence” featuring alto player Willy van Diepen. Van Diepen displayed great sensitivity and inventiveness in this piece and his sound reminded me of the Phil Woods original.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a name='more'></a><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Second set was opened with an arrangement of “Fever” sung by Wilma van Diepen (are they family?). In this piece band displayed a wide range of dynamics providing a strong accompaniment for the vocals. The vocal block was followed by a strong rendition of “Sing Sing Sing” made famous by Benny Goodman and featured drummer Jan ter Maat in a solo the Gene Krupa would be proud of. Vocalist Henk Bleumink provided a rendition of Mack the Knife switching between English and German lyrics. Personally I would have preferred a pure English rendition however judging by the applause, the public would probably not agree with me on this point. The show closed with a great rendition of the classic “In the mood” leaving the packed house screaming for more.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Big Band 89 performed with passion and energy throughout this concert and displayed a true affinity with the style. I do have to admit that I didn’t know what to expect Sunday not having heard this band before, however any preconceived doubts I may have had were quickly dispelled. Judging by the sold out hall, I am now convinced that the great American big band tradition is alive and well and living in the Netherlands. </span><span style="font-size: small;"> I hope to hear more from this band in the future.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Johan van Deeg</b></span></i></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

For this CD the trio has drawn largely on the classical repertoire for their inspiration. My first opinion prior to hearing the CD was, here we go again, another crossover CD however after hearing the first few tracks this preconceived opinion was completely dispelled. The fact is you need to listen extremely closely to pick the piece where the changes originate from. Luckily Read gives this away in the liner notes.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">The opening track’s title ”J.S.B.” eludes to Johan Sebastian Bach and is based on the harmony from the aria “Erbarme dich” from Bach’s St Mathew Passion. The track opens with an 8 bar pedal point leading to the new melody composed by pianist Hans Kwakkernaat over Bach’s chord changes. The solos are tasteful but as far as I am concerned a little on the short side. “Just before dawn” is based on the harmony of Samuel Barbers famous Adagio for strings and is beautiful piece presented here as a bossa nova. Kwakkernaat opens the solos on this track with a short but well formed solo leading to a beautifully melodic bass solo from band leader Andrew Read.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">My favorite track on this CD is without a doubt the up tempo swinger W.A.M. This track opens with a unison melody played by the piano and bass weaving through the complex harmony of Beethoven’s piano sonata Op2 no3. Kwakkernaat shows his substantial chops in an impressive solo reminding me of Kenny Baron. The haunting ballad “Lara” is beautiful piece featuring a rather simple melody played by both bass and piano and is great example of less is more.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">The CD also contains some standards including a solo piano rendition on Monk’s “Round Midnight”. Kwakkernaat is brilliant in this rendition of Monk’s classic stretching the harmonic possibilities of the changes to their outermost edges while still retaining the essence of the original. One of the highlights of this CD is the closing track, John Scofield’s “Grey and visceral”, with solid solos from both Kwakkernaat and Read while drummer Erik Poorterman holds down the steady 12/8 feel.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">The only down point I can find with this CD is that the recording sounds a little indirect. Personally I would have preferred the sound to have been more direct although this is always a matter of personal opinion. I really like this CD and if asked if I it’s worth buying, the answer would be simple, In a New York minute. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> Johan van Deeg</span></span></i></div><br />
