TOON ROOS QUARTET
Toon Roos-tenor sax, soprano sax, Karel Boehlee-piano, keyboard, Hein van de Geyn-bass, Joost van Schaik-drums
The revamped Toon Roos Quartet, with pianist Karel Boehlee, bassist Hein van de Geyn and drummer Joost van Schaik, is all about lyricism, sound, groove and interaction. Toon: ‘After the funky jazz of The Human Feel and Free At Last I felt a compelling need to get back to acoustic jazz and the endless possibilities standards afford. This quartet feels like a privat jet that can take you on the most exciting trips you can imagine.’ Tonight the saxophonist celebrates his 25th anniversary as a performing artist with the presentation (by Hans Dijkstal) of his latest CD Love Revisited.
