The latest acclaim for "Dreams, Thoughts & Poetry" (The Music of Enrico Pieranunzi):

"Intruiging and exciting ... a very inventive approach from an unexpected angle that works very well."

- Enrico Pieranunzi (quote from the liner notes)

"Somsen leads his band beautifully, whilst being absorbed in his own bass playing. Like the rest of all band members, his highly creative and virtuoso bass soloing stands out. The warm and vulnerable sound of the flugelhorn is most distinguished. The contemporary touch of the music is created by the electric guitar’s (garage) effects. The moments of Free Jazz adds contrary contrast to the lyrical compositions ... an excellent concert."
- Charlie Crooymans (Dutch Radio 6, concert review showcase program Dutch Jazz Day 2011)

THE JASPER SOMSEN GROUP WELCOMES WOLFERT BREDERODE

The great piano player Wolfert Brederode is the new pianist in the Jasper Somsen Group.
Due to his many other musical engagements, pianist Jeroen van Vliet decided to leave the Jasper Somsen Group this summer. He will have his last concerts with the band at January 5th 2012 (Eindhoven, NL) and January 6th 2012 (Den Bosch, NL). Wolfert's playing fits perfectly in the lyrical and creative European jazz sound of the Jasper Somsen Group. The first concert planned with Wolfert will be at February 3rd 2012 (Leeuwarden, NL).

At this moment Jasper Somsen & EA Music are planning extra concerts in a.o. March 2012.
