Info for J.S.B.

Charles Mingus sagte einmal: 'Das Komplizierte einfach zu machen ist Kreativität'. Das könnte auch die Philosophie dieser CD sein mit Jazz- Bearbeitungen berühmter Bach-Stücke. Das Andrew Read Trio wurde 1996 vom Pianisten Hans Kwakkernaat gegründet und begeistert vor allem mit Standards aus der amerikanischen Jazztradition, jedoch nie die europäischen Wurzeln verleugnend.

“J.S.B. is the perfect late night jazz CD, highly recommended” (Pieter Jansen, Jazz Nieuws)

“Kwakkernaat opens the solos on this track with a short but well formed solo leading to a beautifully melodic bass solo from band leader Andrew Read. … I really like this CD and if asked if I it’s worth buying, the answer would be simple, In a New York minute.” (Johan van Deeg, Dutch Jazz Times)

“Andrew Read has already proved himself in many genres to be a great bassist however this evening it was clear that he is also able to put together a great band…” (Koen Edeling, Dagblad tubantia)

The Andrew Read Trio
was formed in 1996 and comprises pianist Hans Kwakkernaat, drummer Erik Poorterman and bassist An­drew Read. Inspired by the great piano trios throughout history jazz, the trio's style is rooted firmly in the Ame­rican jazz tradition, however Euro­pean and Latin influ­ences are never too far away. The trio's repertoire consists of original compositions augmented with material drawn from the standard jazz repertoire.

The An­drew Read Trio per­forms regular­ly not only in trio formation but also as rhythm section for the historical big band project 'The Original Swing' and other well known prominent jazz artists. Through years of regular perfor­man­ces the trio has achie­ved a level of musi­cal inter­play where each piece appears to be more of a three way con­versati­on rather than a soloist with accompaniment.

The trio's first CD Live in de Tor and the follow up The Andrew Read Trio - A2B were received well by both the public and the press. The CD Winter of my Dreams featuring guest vocalist Lils Mackintosh and sax player Wouter Kiers was a success generating substantial international sales. In 2009 The Andrew Read Trio signed with the Dutch label Aliud Records. The first release under this new contract is J.S.B. The Andrew Read Trio and is available to download now.
