ESTAFEST
Jeroen van Vliet-piano, Oene van Geel-violin, Mete Erker-sax, Anton Goudsmit-guitar
A jazz song often resembles a relay race, where musicians take turns playing solos. The four men of Estafest give new meaning to this analogy by alternately playing in different line-ups, from solo to duo and from trio to quartet. Goudsmit, Van Vliet, Van Geel and Erker create clear, melodic music with a rhythmic base so strong that it doesn’t need bass or drums.
