STAN TRACEY TRIO & BENJAMIN HERMAN, GUY BARKER

Since 1997, on a regular basis, alto saxophonist Benjamin Herman performs with The New Cool Collective in London. Pianist Stan Tracey (1926) is the house pianist of the legendary London jazz club Ronnie Scott’s. Together with Stan and Clark Tracey, Herman, Cleyndert (and Bart van Lier, not present on this evening) recorded the album The London Session in four hours time. Special guest at this concert is Guy Barker, another heavy weight from British jazz, who manifests himself with hard bop as well as contemporary, free jazz. ‘[Stan] Tracey always fascinates on the fine line from Duke to Monk.’ (NRC Handelsblad) afterwards 23.30u free admission JAZZDIGGERS DJ-set: Groovy hipjazz
