FRANCO D’ANDREA TRIO & HAN BENNINK
AFTERWARDS DJ MENEER FUNKEL AT THE CAFE
Daniele D’Agaro klarinet, Mauro Ottolini trombone, Franco D’Andrea piano, Han Bennink drums
Pianist Franco D’Andrea, one of Italy’s most famous jazz masters, shares the stage with Holland’s most adventurous drummer Han Bennink. They have collaborated before together with Dave Douglas.
Two singular characters improvise together at the Bimhuis and that is special: pianist pianist Franco d’Andrea is one of the most famous jazz musicians and drummer Han Bennink is a renowned pioneer of modern European improvised music. Whenever their busy agendas allow them, they share the stage together, for example in trio format with world famous trumpeter Dave Douglas. In the 1960s they already played with top jazz musicians and both of them van independently performed with giants such as Johnny Griffin and Steve Lacy. Now they will perform with clarinet player Daniele D’Agaro and trombone player Mauro Ottolini.
The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 till 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance).
