JAZZ ORCHESTRA OF THE CONCERTGEBOUW & WERNER HERBERS, DAVID KWEKSILBER

We already know that Henk Meutgeert masters and applies all achievements of modern big band music. Now, he enters the territory of the Third Stream, a marriage between jazz and classical music with authorities Werner Herbers (oboist of the Concertgebouw Orchestra and founder of the Ebony Band) and, equally all-round, reed player David Kweksilber. Among other work, the repertoire consists of a piece by contemporary composer Gilius Bergeijk.
