BASELINE & JOHN ABERCROMBIE
John Abercrombie-guitar, Hein Van de Geyn-bass, Ed Verhoeff-guitar, Hans van Oosterhout-drums
Ever since ten years, Baseline creates intimate and always swinging chamber jazz in various settings with influences from Brazilian styles, folk, classical and pop music, all carried by the lively playing of Hein van der Geyn. ‘The leader/bassist is a precise technician who solos with an almost poetic sense of melody’ (Cadence). Abercrombie is the ideal partner for Baseline. ‘With his electric guitar Abercrombie knows his way around in jazz, rock, folk and Eastern music styles.’ (NRC Handelsblad)
