Wolfert Brederode Quartet, Yuri Honing Acoustic Quartet and ‘Stories’
February 4, 2010
In January I had two small but very inspiring tours. First with my international quartet in Germany and Holland. Last time we played before that was in November at Belgrade Jazz Festival, too long ago to my taste. We also spent time rehearsing; exploring and fooling around with new material and then turning it upside down. Great fun. After this I was off to Switzerland and Germany with the Yuri Honing Acoustic Quartet. Own material combined with songs from David Bowie, Milton Nascimento (what a composer!) and an occasional standard. We drove around quite some k’s through bizar weather conditions, but concerts definately made up for that (and the joking-around as well).
Looking forward now to two concerts with my quartet in Holland and Germany. Then I will be busy with a new project called ‘Stories’: a duo of the Austrian saxofonist Harry Sokal and me. About eleven years ago Harry joined my quintet, two years ago Harry asked me if I would join him for a duo recording. The resulting cd which will be presented in Austria and Holland end of February.
New website
February 3, 2010
Dear visitor, welcome to my new website. Quite some things have changed in my professional life over the past years, different projects and groups, new releases etc. So I felt that after almost ten years it was time for a website which reflected more what I am up to these days. In general I strived for a more basic and calm outlook, less text (though there’s still the necessary info), more music and utter user friendly. Some pages are still under construction but will soon be finished. I believe Sander did a wonderful job so far and I surely hope you will enjoy this website as well.
The last months were busy and nice. Some very fine concerts with my 4tet, 'Stories' and with the Yuri Honing Acoustic Quartet in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Rumania.
Beginning May I recorded again with my 4tet in the Studio La Buissonne in the Provence, beautiful studio in beautiful surroundings and a great time with my band. Looking forward to the release next year.
Now heading for a daddy-leave the coming two months, though still some nice concerts coming up with Yuri Honing and with my 4tet in June and July.
