New albums

In the past months two albums were released on which I play. One was coming along with the magazine ‘Jazzism’, and was a recording of a live-gig with the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw in may this year. We played with several guests in Paradiso (Amsterdam), and the set with Ronald Snijders was recorded and released with the magazine.

The second album is the result of a great tour I did with Mathilde Santing called ‘Sinatra’s Tonic’. We ended the tour playing with a ten-tet, and the last gig at Vredenburg (Utrecht) was recorded. After mixing and mastering it is now released as the live-album ‘Luck be a Lady’. It’s available at Mathilde’s website here, check it out!

Happy 2010!

First of all: all the best to you for 2010, make it a great musical year!! It’s been busy the last months, with a lot of traveling and a lot of playing. I’ve visited Los Angeles, toured 25000 (!) km in Russia, visited the very great Peter Erskine and met Jeff Hamilton – I hope to tell you more about that all later.

For now I’d like you to know that we kicked off Mathilde Santings theater tour Sinatra’s Tonic, so I’ll be playing the theaters in Holland mainly for the next half year, and I can tell you it’s swingin’! So I hope to see you there, and I’ll post here more often.
