Programme
Under the name Beyond Hancock, this quintet plays the compositions for which Hancock became so famous, such as Cantaloupe Island or Watermelon Man, but lesser-known songs are also featured.
Saxophonist Rolf Delfos, guitarist Lou Guldemond, pianist Karel Boehlee, bassist Robin Koerts, and drummer Sven Rozier share a common hero: Herbie Hancock.
This pianist and composer is considered one of the most influential jazz musicians of the second half of the twentieth century, a status comparable to that of his mentor Miles Davis. In his music, he also incorporates elements from funk, rock, blues, soul, gospel, and classical music. He plays piano, keyboard, and synthesizer.
