PETE CHRISTLIEB, FERDINAND POVEL & TRIO REIN DE GRAAFF

Pete Christlieb-tenor sax, Ferdinand Povel-tenor sax, Rein de Graaff-piano, Marius Beets-bass, Eric Ineke-drums

With his confident tenor sound Pete Christlieb is regarded as one of the greatest West Coast saxophonists. The soloist from Los Angeles has always been in great demand as a session musician. He played with Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Quincy Jones and the Tonight Show Band and he shined on records by Steely Dan and Tom Waits. Once again he meets Ferdinand Povel and Rein de Graaff, with whom he recorded the CD Now Is The Time.
