These videos are from the European Jazz Trio DVD "Afternoon in Amsterdam". This DVD is produced by Hiro Yamashita (M and I records) and John Twigt (www.workstation.nl).
The European Jazz Trio, comprising Marc van Roon on Piano, Frans van
der Hoeven on bass and Roy Dackus on drums has been recording and
performing since 1995, when it released a CD of Beatles' songs
in fresh arrangements.
On each album, the trio has taken songs in every style, shape and
color, and has given them a jazz interpretation. For the trio 'Jazz'
means to have the freedom to combine and mix styles, melodies, sounds
and rhythms to create something fresh and surprising.
Van Roon: "A Specialty of the trio is to try and find some unusual
material - unusual in a jazz setting - and to arrange it for the trio.
It works both ways: You can take the sound of a jazz trio and give it a
fresh voice, a new approach; likewise, you can take the music that
everybody knows - pop tunes and classical tunes - and give people a
chance to hear them in a different way."
The European Jazz Trio pushes the envelope of jazz music by adding to
it its own sound and rhythm, a result of the music that has influenced
the trio's members.
"We grew up in the seventies and eighties with pop, rock, classical,
rap and lots of fusion music. It wasn't only jazz anymore. Being
musicians, we try to absorb everything like a sponge and use it
somehow. The classical music we perform we really admire, it's very
close to us - to our European side."
With every song the trio records the main focus is on the essence and
the inner beauty of the composition.
"You cannot approach each song in the same way. And it doesn't have so
much to do with what we as a trio want to do. It's contained within the
song, it's already there. So it's more about what we can leave out,
what we don't have to play. This makes each performance unique and
special."
The European Jazz Trio has recorded with featured artists Art Farmer (1), (2),
Charlie Mariano
(1), Jesse van Ruller (1), and the Metropole string chamber orchestra (1). Swing Journal awarded many album with their Gold Disc Award. The DVD 'An Afternoon in Amsterdam' was elected as best jazz DVD in Japan.
The European Jazz Trio has been recording new albums every year since
the release of 'Memories of Liverpool' in 1995. All recording are
produced by Mr. Makoto Kimata, a highly appreciated jazz producer based in
Tokyo and LA. Recent albums have been co-produced by Hiro Yamashita from the record label M&I Tokyo.
