ERIC HARLAND QUINTET
Walter Smith tenorsax, Taylor Eigsti piano/Fender Rhodes, Nir Felder gitaar, Harish Raghavan bas, Eric Harland drums
Eric Harland, ‘a drummer with superhuman abilities’ (New York Times), has met all the high expectations after being discovered in high school by Wynton Marsalis. Following sold-out shows with Joshua Redman’s super group ,James Farm, Harland is back at the Bimhuis this time with his own band. In his compositions he connects his gospel roots, education in classical percussion and interest in African grooves. His amazing improvisations are marked by his huge technical command.
After the concert, in the cafe, a solo concert by pianist Dave Burrell.
The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 til 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158).
