The Podium Trio celebrates its 30th anniversary. Special guest are
American jazz/funk masters Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Cornell Rochester,
and pianists Guus Janssen and Jasper van ’t Hof.
Between
1985 and 2000 they played hundreds of concerts together worldwide and
recently they have reformed their Podium Trio: saxophonist Paul van
Kemenade, trombonist Wolter Wierbos and guitarist Jan Kuiper. Their
super energetic performances with American jazz funk musicians Cornell
Rochester and Jamaaladeen Tacuma were unforgettable experiences. Tacuma
and Rochester made name in the bands of Ornette Coleman, Joe Zawinul and
Odean Pope. After years the legendary combination is back for the 30th
anniversary of the Podium Trio. Special guests are renowned Dutch
pianists Guus Janssen and Jasper van ’t Hof, who will perform together
for the first time. Unpredictable and challenging.
The Podium
Trio was named after the Podium Prijs jazz award. After Jan Kuiper won
the award in 1985 he asked the two previous winners Wierbos and Van
Kemenade to play a concert. That lead to many performances as a trio,
often with illustrious guests such as David Murray and George Lewis.
The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 till 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance).
