Anton Goudsmit and Trio Peter Beets pay tribute to guitar icon Wes Montgomery, playing an exciting collection of music by this founder of contemporary jazz.

Guitarist Anton Goudsmit and pianist Peter Beets share their passion for the music of Wes Montgomery, the guitarist who set the bar for generations of jazz musicians after him. His compositions form the basis for Goudsmit’s energetic and eccentric solos as well as the endless virtuoso piano playing by Goudsmit and Beets. This is being fed and supported by the relentless groove of the rhythm section featuring Marius Beets and Joost van Schaik.

On both sides of the pond Peter Beets is recognized as a phenomenal hard bop pianist. The Dutchman has performed with such greats as Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis and Roy Hargrove, and in New York he has recorded CDs with established American sidemen. ‘Beets leaves nothing unsaid. He swings with authority, creates constantly, improvises as though he was born doing it’ (Jazzscene).

Anton Goudsmit has been hailed as ‘the most amusing guitarist in The Netherlands’, because of his expressive an infectious style. He layed in New Cool Collective and with his current band The Ploctones he effortlessly switches between a wide variety of styles, from jazz and funk to rock or even kaseko. ‘Anton Goudsmit makes you wonder where the fire escape is’ (The Guardian).
