Guus Janssen Winnyfred Beldman David Kweksilber : Futeristische Historie
€18.50 (incl. shipping + tax)

This Dutch church organ/clarinet/violoncello trio explores a quaint musical schematic where basic jazz concepts merge with religious overtones and chamber musings. Clocking in at 41 minutes, the record is short and sweet. On “Into My Heart,” David Kweksilber’s whispery clarinet lines acquire vocal attributes, complementing the group’s lightly buoyant impetus. Guus Janssen comps with a church organ groove as he establishes the pace through sobering passages. Moreover, the group engages in plenty of experimentation, although matters seldom stray toward extreme shifts in strategy. Overall it’s a soothing and most enjoyable listen—in contrast to what might seem like austere intentions, given the instrumentation involved. All About Jazz
