Jasper Van't Hof - The B.E.Trio "Three of a Kind" (2019)

There are artists who have exhausted all their creative ideas with their first CD and then reproduce themselves again and again. And those who live the music. This includes the Dutch pianist Jasper van't Hof. Full of energy, constantly with new projects. He received the Boy Edgar Award on 6 December 2018 for his life's work in Amserdam.

Before the award ceremony, Van, t Hof played a new acoustic arrangement - for four horns and piano - one of his earlier works and then he appeared on the BIM HUIS stage with his recently formed group BE Trio. Van, t Hof took his audience on a journey into the heart of his music. The Dutch press wrote: What he does with the young members of his trio sounds as fresh and exciting as his work with his larger ensembles; every aspect of his performance impresses with the embodiment and articulation of his unique style and musical universe "(Jazznu / NL)

His version of the classic jazz trio shows once again that Van 't Hof is still full of inspiration and ambition. Jasper van 't Hof is with his success story and his unbridled enthusiasm the ideal mentor for the next generation, the new young Dutch drum star Jamie Peet and Stefan Lievestro on bass and slide guitar. This trio is not a jazz piano trio in the classic sense of the word. Similar to the EST, jazz, pop and rock merge to create their own sound world. Van't Hof plays the piano, but uses keyboards and computers to create new, interesting sounds. He opens the doors to another world for a new, young audience. Melody and rhythm play a major role in the music, the music is intense and all three musicians push them forward with a force that makes one then tied up. No one would expect this from a musician over 70 years old.

The new CD, which will be released for the tour, contains all new compositions except for an old Pili Pili song: The Headpeeper "
