Space is the Place: John Dikeman solo + William Parker/Wilbert de Joode/Klaas Hekman

Monday, November 2, 20:30, entrance € 9

JOHN DIKEMAN SOLO
John Dikeman is an American saxophonist currently residing in Amsterdam. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, John’s playing runs the gamut of improvised music and technique, ranging from reductionist extended technique based improvisation to full throttle free jazz. The underlying characteristic of his music is an unnerving commitment, a total abandonment to sound. John has performed extensively in the USA as well as Canada, Lebanon, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Sudan, Israel, France, Germany, Belgium, Poland and the Netherlands where he is an active performer and organizer.

WILLIAM PARKER/WILBERT DEJOODE/KLAAS HEKMAN
Free jazz legend William Parker is coming to de Ruimte with a highly interesting bass trio. Double bass player Parker is well known thanks to his music with Cecil Taylor, David S. Ware and several Peter Brötzman groups. In de Ruimte he will perform with Wilbert de Joode (double bass) and Klaas Hekman (bass saxophone). Together (with bass player Hideji Taninaka) they form the group Intermission, the term Duke Ellington used to announce bass solos.
