BENNINK BORSTLAP GLERUM

‘Bennink-Borstlap-Glerum is one of the most thrilling, accessible and solid swinging improvisation trios around. The band performs without a set list and meanders with natural flexibility through pieces by Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Michiel Borstlap (among others) and spontaneous improvisations’, writes the Volkskrant. Three musicians paying special attention to the rich sound of their instruments, that know what swing and excitement is, that can renovate standards until they are in a new state and can create something on the spot that rises above the three individuals.
