NEW COOL COLLECTIVE

Benjamin Herman saxophones/flute, David Rockefeller trumpet/trombone, Anton Goudsmit guitar, Willem Friede Fender Rhodes, Leslie Lopez bass, Frank van Dok, Jos de Haas percussion, Joost Kroon drums

New Cool Collective is a first-rate party band. With their unique mix of jazz, salsa, afrobeat and boogaloo the well-dressed company has been crossing borders between the jazz scene and the general public for 15 years. They play all over the world, from small clubs to large festivals, and they collaborate with, amongst others, poet Jules Deelder, rapper Typhoon and drummer Tony Allen. ‘This sublimely grooving band is at its best when experienced live… one great party’ (Volkskrant).

Celebrating jazz since 1974
