Jazz Influencers on CD

Morris Kiphuis, hornist, jazz composer and improviser of JOC, says: "The biggest lesson I learnt in New York is that I am European, and jazz is an American music style - originally the way for an oppressed black minority to express their right to freedom. It gives a unique character and energy to the music. But I'm just a boy from Hilversum." With this statement Kliphuis offers a peek into the inner world of the new generation of Dutch jazz and improvised musicians as a whole, and that of the millennials more in particular. They are the jazz influencers of today. Recorded in two days for a live audience, this recording method enhances the here-and-now experience of the music.
