American pianist Curtis Clark, who has lived in Amsterdam for many years, is loved for his melodic, human playing and his talent for composing, with ‘Letter to South Africa’ as the most well-known example. ‘Though consistently undervalued, Clark has maintained a steady stream of impressive work’ (Penguin Guide to Jazz). The line-up of this quartet, featuring three former winners of the Boy Edgar Prize, indicates that he’s a ‘musician’s musician’.
