……a new exciting music arises from this mixing of jazz, some rock elements and composing techniques derived from classical music…...

This CD is a real meeting, not a nonchalant jam to ad lib on some existing jazz standards…… a thorough research of a new musical world……

…….thoughtful compositions performed with discipline and heart….taken from the liner notes by Jasper van 't Hof.

These twelve original pieces conclusively define the stylistic range of this rare (maybe even unique) instrumental combination. Composed sections give way to improvisations and new sounds are created when electronics are introduced into the proceedings. A new exciting music arises from this mixing of jazz, some rock elements and composing techniques derived from classical music.
