Description:

Peter Beets Trio
New Cool Collective & Nairobi Friends

Daniel Frankl hosts pure and intense piano swing: the Dutchman Peter Beets has shared the stage with some of the best in jazz, including Elvin Jones, Wynton Marsalis and Chick Corea. At the Concertgebouw, he mesmerizes audiences with his lightning changes and exquisitely responsive trio.
Benjamin Herman's New Cool Collective blends jazz, latin, and soul with contemporary triphop beats. After a visit to Kenya, he invited djembe, guitar and flute players from Nairobi to join his ensemble for this performance he calls ?a total package of amusement."
