HENRY GRIMES TRIO
Henry Grimes-double bass, Marilyn Crispell-piano, Andrew Cyrille-drums
The return of bass player Henry Grimes is already a legendary story in the world of jazz. In the 60’s he wrote history as a sideman of Albert Ayler, Sonny Rollins and many others until he vanished off the face of the earth followed by his death announcement in 1984. Two years ago he was found alive and well in a motel on the American West Coast. He hadn’t touched an instrument in all those missing years but since his miraculous come back he plays like never before. For this third Bimhuis concert since his resurrection he brings a five star trio with flamboyant pianist Marilyn Crispell and master drummer Andrew Cyrille.
