REFLEX

In the BIMHUIS Productions series REFLEX we invite musicians to reflect on the world and society. The curator of this edition is Jamie Peet, who has proven himself in the last decade as a jazz drummer for the new generation who does not eschew complexity and who embraces the music of his own time. Especially for REFLEX he has formed a band with saxophonist Ben van Gelder, bassist Pat Cleaver and renowned American vibraphonist Joel Ross.

As a result of Jamie’s REFLEX commision, BIMHUIS Records is releasing his debut album on June 26, REFLEX: Daily New Beginning. For the music, he departs from the concept of shoshin, which stands for the ‘beginner’s mind’. According to this philosophy from Zen Buddhism you approach each situation with a humble, open attitude, whatever your level or experience.
