REMBRANDT TRÍO

Description

The Rembrandt Trio was formed fifteen years ago and since its inception has been one of the most famous jazz groups in the Netherlands. The trio enjoys international recognition for its artistic curiosity and its innovative collaborations looking for the future of jazz.

They use their passion for jazz, classical and Middle Eastern music to create forms and sounds that are profoundly innovative as well as universally appealing. The trio performs mainly outside their home country, and one of the most special recent performances was the double concert with the Chick Corea trio at the legendary Ronnie Scott jazz club in London, as well as the opening concert of the Taichung Jazz Festival in Taiwan for 25,000 jazz enthusiasts. An interesting aspect of the group's history is the introduction of historical instruments. In 2014 the Dutch National Foundation for Musical Instruments commissioned the construction of a fortepiano (replica of a 1790 Walter, Mozart's piano) for.

Shortly thereafter, Tony Overwater began playing the violone, an instrument in the viola da gamba family, and Vinsent Planjer began building his Whisper Kit, a collection of historical and cultural instruments. When the trio uses this instrumentation, their sound is smoother and more transparent, making them a perfect ally for early music performers and Middle Eastern musicians. The Rembrandt Trio also plays a pioneering role in its collaboration with European musicians such as Paolo Fresu, Vincent Peirani, Norma Winstone, Verneri Pohjola, Sylvain Rifflet and Perico Sambeat, to name a few.

The trio has performed in Madrid on several occasions (Madrid Jazz Festival and Círculo de Bellas Artes), and in the Netherlands with the famous Spanish saxophonist Perico Sambeat.
