Guitarist Ed Verhoeff has performed regularly on our stage in various configurations, including a trio with Izaline Callister and Angelo Verploegen and with latin band Sweet Toko. Now he returns as bandleader of a new quartet with brand-new music: Dear Fathers, an album about the father/child relationship and its impact on everyone’s wellbeing. A personal story about responsibility, unconditional love, hope and loss.

Musically, this translates into lyrical melodies carried by a solid and groovy foundation. Four adventurous top players from the Dutch jazz scene bring this to life in their own unique way: Verhoeff on guitar, Marcus Olgers on piano and keys, Mark Haanstra on bass and Yoràn Vroom on drums.
