This is the last Jukebox on earth and David Dramm picks the records. An international prime of musicians tests his extreme rearrangements of everyone, from Edgard Varèse to Bob Wills. A volcanic piano marathon of Xenakis and obscure pop diamonds of Burt Bacharach, Pierrot Lunaire and Moon River, the Sex Pistols and Rodgers & Hammerstein. Or is it all Dramm himself, who’s music is described as kaleidoscopic, ‘on the edge between Charles Ives, Jimi Hendrix and Lou Reed?’ The Bimhuis and the Holland Festival are happy to give the Dutch ‘Derrida of composers’ carte blanche. This unique evening ends with a performance of Dramm’s Orange Slice, praised by the press ‘monumental…the sound of ecstacy’. Program: The Last Jukebox on Earth – with music of (a.o.) Bacharach, Stravinsky, Western Swing, Reed/Cale, Xenakis, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Sex Pistols, Dramm (world premiere) David Dramm: Orange Slice Instead of the regular a la carte menu there will be a buffet in the Bimhuiscafé-restaurant, from 7pm, euro 15 (reservations +31 (0)20 788 2158).
