MIGUEL BOELENS QUINTET
Miguel Boelens-alto saxophone, Mete Erker-tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, Anton Goudsmit-guitar, Dion Nijland-bass, Makki van Engelen-drums
Two promising groups present themselves on a few major jazz podia. The programmers of the Vereniging van Jazz en Improvisatiemuziek Podia (VIP) appointed Miguel Boelens to Young VIP. He performs with the trio DiMaMi, extended with Anton Goudsmit and Mete Merker. The other group, Robinson, Freitag & Caruso, won the Dutch Jazz Competition 2005. ‘Pianist Christoph Mac-Carty balances between provocation and subtlety, bass player Uli Wentzlaff-Eggebert provides a solid basis and drummer Yonga Sun is refreshingly original’ is what the jury report said. www.youngvips.nl
