The Spinifex Orchestra plays a wild mix of styles. On their album Triodia, founders Gijs Levelt (Amsterdam Klezmer Band), Ned McGowan and Tobias Klein offer room to great Dutch talents like tenor player Jasper Blom and trombonist Joost Buis. ‘This extremely varied debut CD unites many extremes: jazz, heavy rock, Balkan elements, contemporary classical’ (Volkskrant). ‘With its colourful, rich and inspired repertoire Spinifex now and again approaches the broad composing style of the late Charles Mingus’ (NRC).
