Artved / Tazelaar / Moseholm / Romme ft. John Engels
Lineup
About the Event
The core of this quintet took shape in New York, where bassist Felix Moseholm, saxophonist Gideon Tazelaar and guitarist Jacob Artved spent several years developing a shared group sound under the mentorship of George Coleman. Their advanced interplay and individual musicianship has already been noticed by figures such as Brad Mehldau, Wynton Marsalis and Louis Hayes. For this European tour the trio is joined by Danish pianist Zier Romme Larsen, winner of the Ben Webster Prize, and Dutch drum legend John Engels.
Engels, now 91, has received the Edison Lifetime Achievement Award and performed over the course of his long career with icons such as Chet Baker, Ben Webster, Dizzy Gillespie and Art Farmer. The quintet brings favourites from the Great American Songbook, alternating with original compositions.
