Joost Lijbaart
Wolfert Brederode Duo


Wolfert Brederode - piano
Joost Lijbaart - drums, percussion

The idea to start up a duo project together arose at a jazz festival in France where Joost and Wolfert were playing a concert in a larger ensemble. The musicn of this duo is a versatile mix of compositions by both Wolfert and Joost, originals and improvised music. Apart from contributing music to an audio version of the internationally acclaimed book Schaduwkind (Shadow Child) from Dutch writer P.F. Thomése, they will release their first duo-cd 'One' in October 2006 at the label Jazz in Motion.

Joost Lijbaart is highly active performer on the international scene, playing a.o. with the Yuri Honing Trio, Agog, Group of Friends, Orient Express and Wired Paradise. His mastering of styles ranges from African ethnical music to jazz and improvised music and he has been rewarded several prizes such as 'Best drummer' at the European Jazz Contest in '93 and 'Best soloist' at the Dutch Jazz Competition 2002.
