EUROPEAN JAZZ STAGE  "Do you know: that there’s a Bossa Nova in the music of Fryderyk Chopin?
....A 21 year old sax-man who’s bringing bright ideas to bebop?
....And a quartet that shimmers from new age to smooth jazz to very hard post bop in an instant?

From the jazz rich music scene of The Netherlands we have the dexterous and curious pianist Peter Beets, we’ve got Ben Van Gelder, finding new gold in bop classics, and from Utrecht a full out Turkey Walk with the Ad Colen Quartet. Holland’s finest right now, on European Jazz Stage.

I’m Benjamin Herman… "
