Frans Hals Kwintet (euro jazz) (1990-1996)

This group is build around musicians from Haarlem, NL. After years of pop, (fusion) jazz and the first fusion bigband in Holland (Big Band Loenen) there was a need to play more acoustic jazz without electronics, inwhich my compositions from the 1970 till 80’s (euro jazz style) play a central role for the quintet. New pieces are written for the quintet and there was material for 3 cd’s. Big motor for the group was the inspiring drummer from Brainbox and FOCUS Pierre van der Linden. Two cd’s are made (in small numbers, 500 each).
– The first cd “Another Step” (1993)
– The second cd “TRY” (1994-95)
