‘One of the finest jazz bands in The Netherlands’ (de Volkskrant) presents the new CD Audacity together with guest vocalists Lilian Vieira (Zuco 103) and Ruben Hein.

The Jasper Blom Quartet has evolved into ‘one of the finest jazz bands in The Netherlands’ (de Volkskrant) in recent years. Tenor saxophonist Jasper Blom sets the tone with versatile playing and harmonically refined compositions, bringing together acoustic jazz with the electric guitar solos and soundscapes of Jesse van Ruller. Bassist Frans van der Hoeven and drummer Martin Vink (The Ploctones) round out this all-star band. The new CD Audacity features singers Lilian Vieira (Zuco 103) and Ruben Hein, who will perform at this concert as well.

‘With every new piece I write I’ll invent a new musical language for us to improvise with. The pieces evolve according to the adventurousness of the band members. While playing, we’re opening up to all surprises the composition has in store in terms of melody, harmony and rhythm’ (Jasper Blom).

‘Jasper Blom is one of the most fascinating composers in The Netherlands. His music is fresh, accessible and exciting, with odd time signatures all over the place’ (Volkskrant).

The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 til 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance).
