Felix Schlarmann has formed a new seven-piece group of contrasting players from different generations, to reflect the variety of the Dutch scene. Well-known players like Pat Cleaver (from Tin Men & The Telephone) or Ben van Gelder are alongside discoveries: Latvian-born vocalist Līva Dumpe and the youngest member, guitarist Olivier van Niekerk (b. 2002). At the heart of this project stands the collective process, both in working out the repertoire and in “finding” the overall band sound.
LINE-UP
Ben van Gelder (as), Mete Erker (ts), Olivier van Niekerk (g), Liva Dumpe (voc), Franz von Chossy (p), Pat Cleaver (b), Felix Schlarmann (dr)
