About Thinktank:
"Thinktank" was founded at the Royal Conservatoir of The Hague and consists of four musicians who can be considered equal.their music is as versatile as it is adventurous, and is based upon traditional jazz aswell as more contemporary elements of western popular music.
Even though the compositions have been written or arranged by individual band members, the interaction is the most important aspect of the band's music, giving it a typical "working band" feel.
All graduates of the Conservatoire, each one of them is currently working as a freelance artist in the field of jazz, fusion, world music to name but a few styles.Guy Nikkels has worked with Michael Brecker, kenny Werner and John Ruocco. Rein godefroy plays in various latin bands and has also played with Ben v/d dungen, Ilja Reijngoud and Stefan Lievestro. Hendrik Vannatenhoven played with Kenny Wheeler and Wynton marsalis and is a frequently asked bassplayer in Holland as well as in his native country Belgium. David Barker has toured with the european youth jazz orchestra and has also played with Michael Brecker, Kurt Rosenwinkel and Dutch artists such as Rob Van Kreeveld and Eef Albers.
Pek Dek is their debut album on the O.A.P label and is bound to turn some heads.....
About Azure:
AZURE was formed in 2006 by pianist Pierre-François Blanchard and guitar player Rogier Schneemann. They met by chance in a rehearsal at the Royal Conservatory and felt an immediate musical connection. Later, they teamed up with drummer David Barker and bass player Eric Heijnsdijk and started working on original material. This resulted in their first studio recording called 'There Were Stars'. THE NEW ALBUM IS OUT NOW!!
