OPENING CONCERT SEASON 2006/2007
KLAAS HEKMAN / FRED LONBERG-HOLM / VERYAN WESTON
Klaas Hekman-bass sax, soprano sax, Fred Lonberg-Holm-cello, Veryan Weston-piano
WOLTER WIERBOS SOLO
Wolter Wierbos-trombone
KAUFMANN / GRATKOWSKI / DE JOODE
Achim Kaufmann-piano, Frank Gratkowski-alto sax, Wilbert de Joode-bass
Opening of the Bimhuis season 2006/2007 with the crème de la crème of the improvised European music scene. Two trios and one solo performance, all highly original and exciting. ‘...most ears likely were focused on the staggering work of Dutch bass saxophonist Klaas Hekman. How one man can produce so much thunderous, volcanic sound from so unwieldy an instrument almost defies comprehension. But Hekman’s solos proved so majestic in scope, searing in tone and coherent in structure as to represent self-contained artistic statements in their own right.’ (Chicago Tribune). ‘Wolter Wierbos compacts the horn’s history with no presumption and, overall, shows a magnetic sense of levity while demonstrating his own sheer brilliance.’ (Coda Magazine). ‘Amsterdam-based German pianist Achim Kaufmann, de Joode and Gratkowski act as a query-fired engine; the musical questions keep things humming. Some will say this trio sounds like Anton Webern, Jimmy Giuffre and Charlie Parker; others will say its like nothing youve ever heard before.’ (Down Beat Magazine).
Friday 1 september, 9pm, euro 16
BASELINE & JOHN ABERCROMBIE
John Abercrombie-guitar, Hein Van de Geyn-bass, Ed Verhoeff-guitar, Hans van Oosterhout-drums
Since ten years now, Baseline creates melodious, intimate and always swinging chamber jazz in various settings with influences from Brazilian styles, folk, classical and pop, carried by the joyful play of Hein van de Geyn. ‘The leader/bassist is a precise technician who solos with an almost poetic sense of melody’, is what Cadence wrote about him. The concerts of this tour will be a happy reunion with Abercrombie who already proved, with his atmospheric guitar sounds, to connect very well with Baseline.
Saturday 2 september, 9pm, euro 12
VAN VEENENDAAL / KNEER / SUN
Albert van Veenendaal-piano, Meinrad Kneer-doublebass, Yonga Sun-drums
"A fresh view on the classic line up op piano, double bass and drums". this is how the CD "Songs To Dance Strangely With" has been introduced. All partners are equals, the piano doesn’t necessarily play a central role, composition and improvisation organically blend together which results in fascinating metamorphoses of the pieces. "Albert van Veenendaal shifts between intelligent abstraction and melodious lyricism in a stimulating way", wrote the Volkskrant.
Sunday 3 september, 9pm, euro 14
SYLLA / REIJSEGER / GUEYE
Mola Sylla-vocals, percussion, Ernst Reijseger-cello, Seringe Gueye-percussion
There are plenty of irresistible grooves to be found in West African music, but not often are they raised to higher grounds with as much fantasy as this trio does. Two Senegalese top percussionists play with one of the grand masters of Dutch improvised music who also uses his cello as a rhythm guitar or a bass. The intense singing of Mola Sylla never ceases to touch the listener.

Shooster is the New Swing Jazz of solid bass player Sven Shuster, Edison winner Efraïm Trujillo, Amsterdam’s most exciting guitarist Anton Goudsmit and darling drummer Victor de Boo. The result of this original mix of (inter)nationally awarded musicians is a tremendous amount of energy and creativity in which power jazz, blues, latin and funk come together.

Elements from free jazz, blues, swing, hot club, folk and brass band are easily blended in compositions filled with time variations, surprising changes and stops. ‘Original European jazz on a high level’ wrote the Volkskrant.

TRIO RIESSLER / LEVY / MATINIER
Michael Riessler-bass clarinet, Howard Levy-piano, harmonica, Jean-Louis Matinier-accordion
Michael Riessler, one of the most fascinating German jazz musicians of this time, worked with Steve Reich, John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Carla Bley and Zappa-drummer Terry Bozzio. Howard Levy is a virtuoso who caused a revolution in the vocabulary of the harmonica. Matinier was shining in the world jazz of Renaud Garcia-Fons and Anouar Brahem. Together they produce a very colorful blend of European and African-Arabian folklore.

MARCEL WORMS
TIEN JAAR NEW BLUES FOR PIANO
Marcel Worms-piano
Since ten years now, pianist Marcel Worms invites composers from all around the world to compose a blues for him. By now there are about 160 pieces written, coming from 45 countries. In the majority of these countries the program has been performed and a selection from the repertoire has been released on three albums. This anniversary concert at the Bimhuis shows a new harvest of blues composed by:Svitlana Azarova (The Ukraine), Evrim Demirel (Turkey), Chris Gendall (New Zealand), Mathieu Polak (Netherlands) and Allan Segall (USA). Performed will also be earlier composed blues from a.o.: Martin Fondse (Netherlands), Elena Kats-Chernin (Australia), Abdalla El-Masri (Libanon) en Riad Abdel-Gawad (Egypt).

ARCHIE SHEPP QUARTET
Archie Shepp-tenor sax, soprano sax, Tom McClung-piano, Wayne Dockery-bass, Steve McCraven-drums
"If Trane is the father, Pharoah: the son, and Ayler: the holy ghost, Archie Shepp is the uncle that no one mentions", wrote All About Jazz. Shepp continues to pave the road of the great preachers on tenor sax with a warmth and directness that leads back to Don Byas and Ben Webster. No matter how far out he sounds, ballads and blues are always around and his equally unique singing makes it clear how great his urge for communication is.

MAGPIE MUSIC DANCE COMPANY - BOX
Musicians: Han Bennink, Mary Oliver, Andy Moor, Cor Fulher and Yannis Kyakides. Dansers: Sharon Smith, Sylvain Meret, Eileen Standley, Masako Noguchi, Martin Sonderkamp. Light design: Ellen Knops. Image: Han Bennink
Han Bennink: ‘I bring a box to the MMDC. A box full of surprises, Pandora’s box. It is a big cardboard box that is on stage during a performance. It is in the spotlight so Ellen Knops determines its position. There are objects (hidden) in the box, for the dancers. For example a bolt of rope, a ceramic garden gnome, a broom, a piece of wallpaper, cymbals, logs of wood, things like that. The concept of the box stays the same; which means, it can be renewed during the performance, the objects vary but the box stays. For the dancers the contents of the box are a sort of objet-trouvées, lost and found. Because the objects change, the instrumentation of the musicians change as well.’

JANSSEN ZAPPT CALEFAX
Guus Janssen-piano
Calefax: Oliver Boekhoorn-oboe, Ivar Berix-clarinet, Raaf Hekkema-sax, Jelte Althuis-bass clarinet, Alban Wesly-bassoon
ZAPP: Jeffrey Bruinsma-violin, Friedmar Hitzer-violin, Oene van Geel-viola, Emile Visser-cello
A combination that is as fascinating as it is obvious: Janssen made a name in jazz as well as in composed music. In this program he plays together with two groups illustrating that the gap between two genres can easily be closed nowadays. Calefax and ZAPP both stand for close ensemble playing and driving rhythmics but also for the expressiveness of the personal variation. For this 10 piece super formation new work was written by Janssen, Oene van Geel, Raaf Hekkema and Jasper le Clercq. ZAPP and Calefax will also perform new repertoire separately.

TOM HARRELL QUINTET
Tom Harrell-trumpet, Wayne Escoffery-sax, Danny Grissett-piano, Ugonna Okegwo-bass, Johnathan Blake-drums
"What Harrell does is spin out improvisational lines filled with instant melodies. Like a lyricist who illuminates phrases with subtle internal rhymes, Harrell’s soloing captivates both the hearts and the minds of his listeners", wrote The Los Angeles Times. Tom Harrell is not just a convincing and self confident swinger (ever since his early years with Stan Kenton, Woody Herman and Horace Silver) but also the most emotionally touching trumpet player since Chet Baker.
Friday 22 september, 9pm, euro 14
4 WALLS + 2
Phil Minton-vocals, Luc Ex-bass, Veryan Weston-piano, Michael Vatcher-drums, Isabelle Duthoit-clarinet, Gail Brand-trombone
The international improvisation quartet 4 Walls accommodates an intriguing musical world. Arrangements of great subtlety and free improvisations go hand in hand. Miniscule sounds versus eruptions of noise & energy. In this project 4 Walls will be reinforced by musicians Gail Brand and Isabelle Duthoit. The addition of trombone and clarinet creates new harmonic and melodic possibilities. A reprise of a remarkable concert on November 4 of 2005 (but not a repetition!)
Saturday 23 september, 9pm, euro 14
AMINA FIGAROVA SEPTET
Amina Figarova-piano, Bart Platteau-flutes, Kurt van Herck-tenor sax, Tom Beek-alto sax, Nico Schepers-trumpet, Wiro Mahieu-bass, Chris Strik-drums
This septet, operating as a small big band, seems to be the perfect formation for the compositions of Figarova who covers a wide range of moods: from contemplating and melancholic to energetic and joyful. The strong soloists are serving the music that, in spite of the Azerbaijani descent of the pianist, speaks the universal language of jazz. Figarova’s intense September Suite, concerning ‘Nine Eleven’, proves that major emotions are not avoided.

B-oost, a festival with the subtitle ‘fresh sounds and images from the Amsterdam Easter Harbour area’ (Amsterdams Oostelijk havengebied), organises a Bimhuis evening filled with surprising ingredients. Vera OEne and the Rest (VOER) present their first album. Voer stands for a crossover of steaming grooves, original pop songs, exotic beats, expressive jazz solos and organic electronics. One moment Voer makes you feel like dancing and then brings you moments of peace. The occasion of the release of their first CD puts B-oost together with Voer and the French artist collective Luminocinetique that is doing its Dutch debut with its spectacular projections. In the Bimcafé wine importer Marius Wines pours delicious quality wines.

JORIS ROELOFS QUARTET
Joris Roelofs-alto sax, clarinet, Karel Boehlee-piano, Jos Machtel-double bass, Joost van Schaik-drums
"A lyrical and swinging player that is grounded in tradition and knows how to interweave contemporary influences in a tasteful way" is how the jury report of the Deloitte Jazz Award 2004 characterizes Joris Roelofs. A year earlier he received an important American incentive prize, the Stan Getz/Clifford Brown Award, and even before his 20st birthday he joined the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw. Promising seems to be an understatement for the alto saxophone and clarinet player who brings his own quartet to the Bimhuis for the first time.
