Ernst Glerum is an undisputed master of his instrument with a universally acclaimed tone and who displays all the virtues of the improvising jazz musician in a unique and special fashion. This enables him to keep ensemble playing in such productive balance.’ ‘For the past three decades Ernst Glerum has fulfilled an exemplary role as a binding figure in the Dutch jazz world. One who serves as a model and a source of inspiration for further cross-fertilization and mutual nourishment, contributing to the exploration of new musical terrain.’ Two quotes from the jury report about the bassist and composer Ernst Glerum winner of the 2009 VPRO/Boy Edgar Prize, the most prestigious award for jazz and improvised music in the Netherlands.
