autumn concerts and new releases to come

The coming months I’m happy to participate in a nice row of concerts, please check the concert-page of this website. In the meantime I’m busy preparing the release of two new albums, one with Afra Mussawisade and Kinan Azmeh, the other with my all-time friend saxophonist Mete Erker. The album ‘in’ with Mete will be released and presented January 28 at the Orgelpark in Amsterdam. The album with Afra and Kinan will be released April 8.

after the silence

Here’s a post after many months of silence, just to let you know I’m still working on music in different projects. With Mete Erker we’re planning to record a new album in July, and we’ll be performing try-outs – hopefully – in May and June. Please check the concerts-page on this site. I’m honored to be part of the Markus Stockhausen Group since last december, we recorded a new album in February and will perform later this year. With my MoonTrio, with Margriet Sjoerdsma, Gatecrash, Esra Dalfidan, Esther van Heesch, Hans Timmermans, Ronald Peeters – all these bands and projects are still up and running as soon as covid-19 allows us to go ahead. Hope to see you around by that time..

Good reviews in Volkskrant & Jazzenzo on MoonTrio album Monochromes

This week Gijsbert Kamer wrote a good review in national Dutch newspaper on the Monochromes-album of MoonTrio. Erno Elsinga wrote a review for jazzenzo.nl.

To decide for yourself how the music is, please check the album.

Volkskrant:

Moon Trio weet de elektronica mooi te integreren in het warme bandgeluid ★★★☆☆

Op Monochromes, het tweede album dat toetsenist Jeroen van Vliet met zijn Moon Trio maakte, is het gebruik van elektronica nog beter geïntegreerd in het warme bandgeluid dan op het album Earth-Time uit 2016. In veel stukken op het mooie, wat melancholieke album zijn de zoemende synths van Van Vliet, de pulserende basnoten van Cord Heineking en de door drummer Mark Schilders aangebrachte analoge effecten niet zomaar wat versiering.

De elektronica maakt deel uit van de constructie, al is het de akoestische piano van Van Vliet die centraal staat: soms stevig in duel met bas en drums, wat zeker in de eerste paar nummers een wat opzwepend, GoGo Penguin-achtig geluid veroorzaakt.

Naarmate het album vordert nemen het tempo en de dynamiek wat af. De dan meer naar Brian Eno’s ambient neigende stukken hebben veel sfeer en zijn mooi met diepte geproduceerd; maar een beetje jammer is het verlies van energie wel, want daarmee gaat de spanning er ook een beetje uit.
