Music

After a break of more than ten years, I started playing again in late 2006; this time on electric bass and on a semi-professional basis.

I perform mostly with Dutch Treat, a band lead by singer Nynke Geertsma, who sings her own lyrics. They’re in Dutch and sometimes about her (and my) hometown, Amersfoort. She sings kind of ‘The Great Amersfoort Songbook’. We recorded the cd In de vroege uurtjes, just weeks after we first got together.

Late 2009, Dutch Treat issued our second cd: 'The Great Amersfoort Songbook'. This time, we felt strong enough to invite twenty major guest musicians from Amersfoort; among them Thijs van Otterloo, Alexander Beets, Jai-Jai Vos, Thijs Borsten and Leo Janssen.

Once in a while, I have the pleasure to accompany Edu Ninck Blok, a trumpeter who worked with Chet both on stage and in the recording studio. He learned from Chet a thing or two. You may know him as the leader of the Amstel Octet, a band that recorded with Chet in 1985 (Hazy Hugs, Challenge Records). Peter Smit is on guitar.

Late 2008, I accompanied guitar giant Eef Albers at a benefit concert. Some clips of the concert can be seen on the Eef Albers page
