BRUUT!
Maarten Hogenhuis altsax, Folkert Oosterbeek hammond, Thomas Rolff bas, Felix Schlarmann drums
Hammond-spiced powerjazz with the vibe of Tarantino movies, classic westerns and vintage vinyl. Young Dutch band with international appeal, shamelessly hinting towards grunge, symphonic rock and afro beat.
BRUUT! has taken off like a rocket: their extremely danceable, hammond-spiced power jazz catches on everywhere, from North Sea Jazz and popular Dutch talkshows to nightclubs in Londen, Tokyo and Burkina Faso. Last year the young Dutch band played over 100 shows all around the world. The raw sound of this foursome recalls the vibe of Tarantino movies, classic westerns and vintage vinyl. Eye-catcher is rising star alto sax player Maarten Hogenhuis, who has performed at the Bimhuis in the bands of Reinier Baas. BRUUT! sounds dirtier and louder than ever on its most recent album FIRE, which shamelessly hints towards grunge, symphonic rock and afro beat.
‘BRUUT! is a rowdy company that scoffs at the rules and formalities of the jazz scene. BRUUT! makes brutal jazz out of juicy boogaloo and fat rhythm & blues’ (de Volkskrant).
The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 til 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance).
