Sixteen compositions of all eight members of the Club have merged into an intriguing suite, which will feature its premiere this evening. Expect an uncompromising input from all members of the club.
For many years, pianist and keyboardist Martin Fondse has been leading large orchestras in which experienced amateurs play his compositions, often accompanied by renowned guests from the Dutch music world. The XLJAZZ projects have varying themes and are bound by Fondse’s narrative, cinematic music. This time, a compact ensemble of eight diverse musicians.
