30 November I was invited by the Holland Jazz Ensemble (bassist + Jonas Linneman on drums and Paul Stark on piano)

I really enjoyed it. A lot of people (100) came over to hear us play!

Sunday 20 and monday 21 of november we did two concerts in ‘The Quecumbar’ in London.

Last 4 days I’ve been teaching 12 hours of ‘chromatic harmonica jazz-improvising’ at the ‘Harmonica Masters Workshop’ in Trossingen, Germany. It was a great event, organised by Steve Baker and friends, and sponsored by Hohner Company and the city of Trossingen.

The Hotel ‘Baeren’.

It was great to hear other harmonica-players perform, like Steve Baker David Barrett and Joe Filisko:

On Friday evening I gave a concert with pianist Ondra Kriz from Tsjechie, and Joe joined us for the last piece.

I had eleven students, that where very interested in learnig more about improvisation, and we had lots of fun playing music together!

Last sunday 23 Octobre, I was invited by Tony Overwater (bass) and Joshua Samson (chinese Hang & percussion) for their project: ‘Sleutelbewaarders’ (Key Keepers). The concerts are held in very special locations, this time at the ‘Smedegilde St. Eloy’ (Blacksmid Guild) from 1440 in the city of Utrecht.

I really enjoyed playing music with them, and I think the unusual combination of Chinese Hang, bass and chromatic harmonica sounded great!

Today I went to the beautiful church of Medemblik with scottisch band The Rigidly Righteous.
