An important event in my career happened back in 1989: together with Eric van Der Westen (double bass), Pieter Bast (drums) and Hans Sparla (trombone), we were asked by alto-player Paul van Kemenade to join and form his new Quintet. I worked 18 inspiring years in the band, learning an incredible amount of skills, gaining insights, connecting to my fellow musicians in ways I hadn’t considered possible. After a break of appr. 10 years Paul re-united the band, now with the great Louk Boudestijn on trombone, and this year, 2024, is the last call for this amazing band. So please check out where we play this autumn, hope to see you there..
