Bio:

The Future of Boogie Woogie..

Eeco Rijken Rapp (NL) :

Eeco studied classic piano for over ten years.

At the age of sixteen, after attending a concert of jazz pianist Rob Agerbeek he decided to switch to jazz and boogie woogie
He is specifically known by boogie woogie connoisseurs for playing the authentic style from the era of celebrity Albert Ammons. They also recognize the very fluent and seemingly effortless way he plays the piano.

As from the first publication in 2006, his video’s and boogie woogie lessons on Youtube immediately drew and keep drawing the attention of many from all over the world.

Since then he performed at many jazz and boogie woogie occassions all over Europe, such as festivals in France, United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany and Holland.

David Herzel :

Eeco is supported on drums by David Herzel (Germany) He is certainly one of the most astonishing drummers of our time with a mind boggling concept of time, creativity and speed. David is a professional drummer for more than 20 years, a lot of people will know him from "The Original Contemporaries".

Betram Becher:

Bertram Becher played the keyboards in many different bands since he was 15 - ranging from "Beatles" to Rock. At the age of 24 he found the harmonica and it grew to be his first instrument. Since then Blues and Boogie were his first choice. He wrote the "Interactive Blues Harp Workshop" (CD Rom, Voggenreiter) together with world-class harmonica player Steve Baker in 1998.

Bertram had the chance to make his hobby his profession in 2006, when he joined the C.A. SEYDEL SÖHNE harmonica factory (www.seydel1847.com) as their product manager, player and consultant. He never wanted to copy any famous player but developed his personal style of playing Blues harmonica. "Boogielicious" is his first trio, forcing him to be very conscious while playing harp - with "Kicking up dust", Bertram continues also playing the piano in a Blues-band (www.kicking-up-dust.de).
