TRIO PETER BEETS & special guest JOE COHN

Peter Beets-piano, Joe Cohn-guitar, Martijn van Iterson-guitar, Ruud Jacobs-bass

Peter Beets doesn’t need to be introduced, this hard bop piano player is known on both sides of the ocean. ‘Stylistically, he’s a lineal descendant of such quintessential boppers as Bud Powell, Hampton Hawes, Bobby Timmons and Wynton Kelly (…), but with a lyrical outlook and rhytmic conception of his own, underscored by tasteful, cogently structured lines that always swing, and a technique that rivals anyone this side of vintage Oscar Peterson’ (Cadence). Joe Cohn, son of saxophonist Al Cohn is a much talked of guitarist in straight ahead jazz.
