Piece Description

 Celebrating a career that spans five and a halve decades, we bring you alto master Phil Woods.

In this programme we also offer two concerts where strings play first fiddle. The British clarinetist and saxophonist John Surman is accompanied by a classic string quartet and we have a young Dutch talent, Jeffrey Bruinsma. He is exploring the violin in styles covering jazz, world – and classical music.

Then there’s Esra Dalfidan a Dutch singer with Turkish roots. She won the Dutch Jazz Vocal Competition in 2008 and she mixes jazz with oriental traditionals.
