Tango music, like jazz, is an improvisational music movement. In a line-up featuring WIm Warman (piano), Vincent Houdijk (vibraphone), Jasper van Damme (saxophone) and Omar Mollo (vocals), we will let you hear what improvised tango music sounds like. A concert for connoisseurs of sparkling music. The musicians’ interplay and talent for improvisation makes this concert a unique experience.
The musicians in this performance have all made their mark in jazz music. Jasper van Damme studied at the conservatories of Rotterdam and Amsterdam, where he took lessons with Dick Oatts, Ferdinand Povel and Benjamin Herman, among others. In 2012, he graduated with a 10 from the Master’s program at the Amsterdam Conservatory of Music. Vincent Houdijk is a virtuoso, versatile, Dutch percussionist, with a preference for his specialization; the vibraphone. The combination of his classical and jazz studies gave him a broad view on music. Houdijk has an investigative attitude, curious about many various types of collaborations within music and musical styles. Wim Warman is artistic advisor to the Dutch International Tangoweek. His years of experience in Argentine Tango and its improvisation make him a perfect candidate to lead this performance. Omar Mollo is also artistic advisor to the Dutch International Tangoweek. He has been nominated several times for a Latin Grammy and is a winner of the prestigious Carlos Gardel Award.
This performance will last 2x 45 minutes and there will be an intermission. An intermission drink is included in the price. A dance floor is available for enthusiasts.
