  • Bio

    Randy Winterdal is a gifted bassplayer and composer with a distinct personal style. Born on the beautiful Caribbean island of Curacao, he started at the age of 15 to play bassguitar in local bands. His talent was soon recognized by local Jazz artist Rudy Emerenciana, who invited him to play in the first Jazzcafé on the island. In the 80's he left Curacao to study at the Utrecht Conservatory in the Netherlands. Randy eventually developed quite a reputation as an allround bassplayer and a fine soloist. He played and collaborated with many groups and artists such as jazztrio Cross Currents, The Ronald Snijders band, The Cedric Dandaré band, Gerardo Rosales, Izaline Calister, Denise Jannah, Ino Kruysen, Beatriz Aguiar, Randal Corsen, Michael Simon, jazzquartet Crianzas. Apart from these activities he dedicates his time to composing, creating several musical projects such as the suite "The Garden" and other works for orchestra and small ensemble. On his debut CD "Ku pasonan chikí" (released in 2005), he blends groovy Antillean rhythms with contemporary influences from Jazz and World music creating a very personal sound and style. With his second cd "Alma di mi tera" (the soul of my land), a beautiful album of musical portraits and impressions, he makes a brilliant transition starting from the traditional Antillean classical music of the 19th and 20th century to the present day contemporary music. Universal music, transcending musical styles.
