To think outside the box: that has always been a motto to live by for saxophonist Hans Dulfer. Musically, Dulfer has always been at the forefront. He played psychedelic free jazz and created the first Dutch world music. He was the first jazz musician to collaborate with house DJs, and he achieved pop star status in Japan with the unique blend of heavy guitars, beats and sax with the record Big Boy. He was also at the cradle of the Dutch jazz scene, organising legendary concerts and co-founding our venue. In our anniversary month, a performance by this ‘tough tenor’ simply has to happen, 50 years after his first concert at the BIMHUIS.
To this day, Dulfer prefers to play live, at the most diverse venues and with relentless energy. As always, he brings a true all-star band including guitarist Jerôme Hol and drummer Hans Eijkenaar. Dulfer has informed us that he likes to see a full house, so you know what to do.
