"Three and One" is a very pleasant surprise by three young musicians and an “old hand”. Trumpeter Ellister van der Molen, pianist Bob Wijnen and bassist Johnny Daly had been gigging as a trio, when they sought support of master drummer, conservatory teacher and motivator Eric Ineke as inspiration for their début cd. Triplicate plus one is a quartet that isn't about trends but is, instead, driven by pure musicianship and a deep love for jazz music. This deep love is one that connects tradition with a freshness that is rooted in the present.

The Highest peak had been reached: such a huge project it is, restoring the Arminius church in Rotterdam. The work is far from over, but the reaching of the highest point and the placing of "the ship" on top of the church can be seen as a definite reason for a party. That's why I was asked to play some formal trumpet music there last Friday, to highlight the moment. This picture was taken before the ceremony, just chitchatting a bit with the municipal councillor. Very happy faces, don't you think :)
How nice a concert can be.. Due to traffic queues and empty stomachs we had had only a fairly short rehearsal before. But actually it was just perfect! You don't want to waste your energy before the gig and the Indonesion restaurant was very nice!
And such a nice place Kraaij & Balder is to play; a great ambience, a jazz loving audience and nice acoustics. We had great fun also when we were hanging a bit after finishing the concert.
Too bad after a late nice there always comes an early morning. But is was for a better good: we recorded the horns for the new demo of Zule Max, a new all-female salsa band. In the studio of Marc Bisschoff it was very relaxed doing so. Looking forward to hear the end result!
