Jasper Somsen Invites Paul Van Der Feen & Bert on CD

The concept of "Jasper Somsen Invites..." is typical in the world of Jazz music. I just called some of my colleagues and asked if they would like to perform with me in a duo, trio or quartet. Being my guests of honour, I'd let my invitees decide our repertoire. On 30 March 2023, I invited the Metropole Orchestra's alto saxophone player Paul van der Feen and master pianist Bert van den Brink. We had so much fun during the sound-check that we decided to record the concert. The recordings turned out to be a lucky shot in the dark. Paul, Bert and I instantly agreed and selected the best tracks for an album. The music on this album perfectly reflects the same spontaneity as many other concerts of that series: live music, up-close and personal, for a wonderful audience.
