Programma

SoWhat Jazz kwartet bestaat uit:

Henk Vincenten​-​Saxen

Nick van de Bos ​​-​Toetsen

Frans Bouwmeester​-​Bas

Hugo Jonker​​-​Drums

Deze vier muzikanten hebben hun sporen verdiend in pop-, soul-, jazz- en Bigbands. En dat is te horen, elk stuk SWINGT.

Het repertoire is gevarieerd. Naast goed in het gehoor liggende jazz en prachtige ballads komen er ook Latin, funk en blues georiënteerde nummers aan bod.

Veel stukken worden prachtig instrumentaal opgebouwd, maar het repertoire bevat ook zorgvuldig gekozen, verrassende vocale intermezzo’s.

GUITAR LOVE

A magazine for guitar players quotes the following typical sayings of Van Iterson: about the sound of his instrument ` I used to try all kinds of separate hi fi material but I know now that sound primarily comes from the fingers. At home I always practice without amplifiers. That way you’re forced to get the best out of your fingers.’ And a charming `homely’ one about his love for the guitar: `A few times a year I fall asleep on the couch with the guitar on my lap. In the early morning my children wake me up ordering me to go to bed because they want to watch children’s tv’.

Martijn van Iterson may be down to earth but he obviously has a Dream. As he says himself in his straightforward, unaffected way: `I dream of the ultimate guitar solo because as far as I’m concerned it hasn’t happened yet’.

PRIZES GALORE

Born on July 11th 1970 in Leiden, Van Iterson graduated cum laude from the Hilversum Academy of Music in 1993. He was a member of the Jazz Dance Formation ‘All the King’s Men’; was a guest solo player on Dutch National TV and Radio with well known orchestras like ‘The Skymasters’, the ‘Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw’ and the ‘Metropole Orchestra’ and worked with several leading names like Jim Hall and Jean ‘Toots’ Thielemans. In 1996, he recorded with a.o. guitarist Mike Stern and during a project of Stefan Lievestro he worked together with drummer Gary Novak (Chick Corea) and pianist Thierry Eliez (Dee Dee Bridgewater). He played in the cross-over formation ‘D-Code’, in the quintet of bass player Ruud Jacobs, in the quartet of trombonist Ilja Reijngoud, in the ‘Piet Noordijk Quintet’  and has his own quartet with pianist Karel Boehlee, bass player Frans van Geest and drummer Martijn Vink. Prizes were many: second in the Pall Mall Swing Award (1989), second in the Wessel Ilcken Award (1991), Heineken Cross Over Award (1991), the Laren Jazz Award 2012 and last but not least the Bird Award at the North Sea Jazz Festival 2004.

That is in the past he says modestly, without pretence, and wonders – characteristically – whether such a review should be in a story like this.

The music of the group can be characterized as a mixture of latin-american melodies and rhythm, with some dark romantic “porteño” sound and a clear influence from the contemporary jazz greats.
All of the compositions are intentionally designed to try to catch the listeners attention by developing simple or complex motifs in the most musical way possible.
Although the improvisation is clearly one of the most important things of our music, it is also vital for us to tell a story through the arrangements and the music that is written in paper.

‘There is no excuse (NOXQQ) not to make music’. 

Een virtuele band die nog nooit eerder live heeft samengespeeld. Nu hoor ik je zeggen, dat kan niet. Het zit zo: De bandleden ontmoetten elkaar twee jaar geleden online op het hoogtepunt van corona via het muziekprogramma Jamulus. Tussen hen ontstond een bijzondere chemie. 

De afgelopen twee jaar heeft NOXQQ fusion project gewerkt aan stukken van Chick Corea, Marcus Miller, Weather Report, Yellowjackets en Steps. Geen gladde fusion, interessante melodische stukken, Het eerste echt live moment maak je mee tijdens de première in De Twee Spieghels. Spannend? Dat zeker!

Our band was founded in 2023 for a vocal
night project at school, in the Royal
Conservatoire The Hague. Since then
somehow we stayed together for Bettina’s
exam as a band. And then in the last semester
we have also started to work on our own
repertoire which includes a different
approach of the interpretation of jazz
standards and combining jazz with folk
music from our backgrounds. Bettina’s
traditional background is the main thread
in the band’s story, but we also started to
work on Basso’s folk music, from Hong
Kong, which creates a wider possibility of
creating music together, opening new
opportunities and bringing novelty into the color of our work.
