TRIO BENNINK/BORSTLAP/GLERUM
Michiel Borstlap-piano, Ernst Glerum-double bass, Han Bennink-drums
A top-level meeting of three generations in Dutch jazz. In 1997 they did a once-only concert at the Bimhuis, resulting in a CD. However, anyone who listened to this recording knows that this combination is too beautiful to be passed into oblivion. Three musicians respecting the rich sound of their instrument, knowing what swing and excitement is, being able to rebuild standards and make them sound like brand new and creating something on the spot, that rises above the three individuals.
