NO CAN DO & GUUS JANSSEN

The way Guus Janssen complemented the music of pianoless quartet No Can Do in September 2002 (during the Jazz International Festival in Rotterdam), pleased co-leaders Niks and Vermeerssen so much that further collaboration was a natural conclusion. ‘Janssen didn’t stop up the open structures but supported or responded with clear phrases in spontaneous counterpoint’ is what the Volkskrant wrote about that event. Playful, warm, always exciting, swinging jazz full of unexpected turns.
