GLERUM OMNIBUS 57 VARIATIONS
Ruben Hein-piano, Ernst Glerum-bass, Joost Patocka-drums
This year Ernst Glerum won the prestigious VPRO/Boy Edgar prize. He celebrated his victory in a sold out Bimhuis, along with several of his bands. The set by Omnibus led to a tour. With this trio Glerum shows that he’s not only a versatile double bassist, but also a formidable composer. ‘Glerum likes songs, he knows how to write them and he always plays with a song-like intonation and a love for melody’ (de Volkskrant).
