This is the third CD of the Amsterdam Jazz Quintet. Just like with the previous CD Pictures Of Amsterdam, with the theme of all kinds of places in Amsterdam, a theme has been chosen, namely remarkable people, of which Portraits are made by means of the music. The result is interesting jazz from a prominent Dutch quintet, consisting of Robert Jan Vermeulen (piano / organ), Bert Joris (trumpet /
… flugelhorn), Toon Roos (tenor / soprano saxophone), Paul Berner (bass) and Joost van Schaik ( drums). This nine-track CD contains compositions such as Brigitte Bardot, Nick Leeson - Lost In The Moneyjungle. Pélé, The Dalai Lama - Peace And Compassion and MC Escher - Magic Box. Highly recommended for those who love contemporary (Dutch) jazz! (JW)more
