Ben van Gelder-alto sax, Gavin Fallow-bass, Colin Stranahan-drums
He’s going on 20 and he has already won important national and international prizes, among them the prestigious Deloitte Jazz Award ’07. Dutch alto saxophonist Ben van Gelder currently loves in New York where he followed classes with Lee Konitz and Jimmy Halperin and where he combs the clubs playing in bands with David Binney, among others. This month he briefly returns to his home country for a short tour with his New York rhythm section.
