Here’s a nice registration of a new Big Band arrangement by Eric Miyashiro of the famous tune called ‘Birdland’. We played this at the 2019 Trumpet Party and besides Eric playing his part there’s a great solo by Florian Wempe. And the amazing Wim Both playing lead-trumpet. Hope you enjoy it!

I’m very happy to announce that I’ll be playing the North Sea Festival again, and it’s going to be something really special! First of all the whole concert will be a tribute to the late and great Boy Edgar, who had his own fabulous bigband a couple of decades ago in the Netherlands. His music and his way of working were very special, so it’s a great challenge to honour him in this way with the Konrad Koselleck Big Band.
Secondary there will be some former band member joining us in this concert, out of which one is JOHN ENGELS! John is of course known for all the great artists he played with (f.e. the legendary Chet Baker in Tokio concert), but also for being an incredible drummer still now a days. And the good thing for me is that we get to play together! Boy Edgar did recordings with two drummers in the band (as did the Clarke-Boland band) and we’ll have that too: John and me! So you must come and check it out, ‘cause we’ll be killing it!

This year it is exactly 100 years ago that Franz Ferdinand was killed in Sarajevo and World War I started. Reason for Konrad Koselleck to do a memorial/reflectional concert about this war, about the effects of it later and the influence still today. With great storytelling by Vincent Bijlo, beautiful singing by the multi-talented Ellen ten Damme and kick-ass grooves and war-soundscapes by the Big Band you’ll be reminded of this war and think about todays political events.
The project was already performed at memorial places like Gütersloh (D) and Diksmuide (B), but the coming months it’ll be in the Netherlands too. For more info and the dates click here.
This month we’ll perform with the great Spanish singer Mapi Quintana:
