BARNICLE BILL TRIO & ROB VAN KREEVELD

John Engels, ‘grand old man of Dutch jazz drumming’ (de Volkskrant), welcomes his friend Rob van Kreeveld. The pianist has accompanied great international jazz artists and he composed well-known songs for famous Dutch cabaret performer Paul van Vliet. The jazz veterans are accompanied by the relatively young players in Engels’ trio Barnicle Bill, featuring alto saxophonist Miguel Martinez and Mark Haanstra on acoustic bass guitar. The repertoire contains jazz songs that never really became standards.
