Spring Duets: Tineke Postma & Jonas Burgwinkel

Spring, a time of renewal and growth. In our annual Spring Duets series we celebrate this sense of spring by creating new encounters between musicians we hold in high regard. Whether they are young heroes, internationally acclaimed performers, improv veterans or unique outsiders, together they take on the challenge of creating a new sound. Each duo will perform a set of 20 minutes, after which they will be interviewed by Hasna El Maroudi.

Lyrical, melodic and full of groove and emotion: that’s what Tineke Postma is all about. The saxophonist has already played with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Esperanza Spalding, and last year presented her most recent album Aria, with Ben Monder, among others. Now she will duet with Jonas Burgwinkel. The drummer is a member of the supergroup Deadeye with Reinier Baas and Kit Downes and has shared the stage with big names like John Scofield, Chris Potter and Lee Konitz.
