BIMHUIS @ BLIJBURG
SEAN BERGIN TRIO
Sean Bergin-saxes, Jacko Schoonderwoerd-bass, Joost van Schaik-drums
DJ CESARE
Location: Blijburg
A Bimhuis-summerparty at Blijburg, the populair Amsterdam citybeach at IJburg. From the raw, catchy kwelas out of the shebeens, the pubs of his home country South Africa, to free explorations with a sharp edge, saxophonist Sean Bergin does it all with tireless swing while putting his heart and soul into every note. With his trio (known from the sessions in café de Engelbewaarder) he turns every performance into a party. Ticket sales only through Blijburg (www.blijburg).

OPENING CONCERT SEASON 2006/2007
KLAAS HEKMAN / FRED LONBERG-HOLM / VERYAN WESTON
Klaas Hekman-bass & soprano sax, Fred Lonberg-Holm-cello, Veryan Weston-piano
WOLTER WIERBOS SOLO
Wolter Wierbos-trombone
ACHIM KAUFMANN TRIO
Frank Gratkowski-alto sax, Achim Kaufmann-piano, Wilbert de Joode-bass
Opening of the Bimhuis season 2006/2007 with the crème de la crème of the improvised European music scene. Two trios and one solo performance, all highly original and exciting. ‘...most ears likely were focused on the staggering work of Dutch bass saxophonist Klaas Hekman. How one man can produce so much thunderous, volcanic sound from so unwieldy an instrument almost defies comprehension. But Hekman’s solos proved so majestic in scope, searing in tone and coherent in structure as to represent self-contained artistic statements in their own right.’ (Chicago Tribune). ‘Wolter Wierbos compacts the horn’s history with no presumption and, overall, shows a magnetic sense of levity while demonstrating his own sheer brilliance.’ (Coda Magazine). ‘Amsterdam-based German pianist Achim Kaufmann, de Joode and Gratkowski act as a query-fired engine; the musical questions keep things humming. Some will say this trio sounds like Anton Webern, Jimmy Giuffre and Charlie Parker; others will say its like nothing youve ever heard before.’ (Down Beat Magazine).
