Benjamin Herman - Project S '2018

Tracks list

       For the past 30 years saxophonist and musical omnivore Benjamin Herman
has been one of Holland’s most productive musicians of his generation.
After taking part in the 1991 Thelonious Monk Competition and studying with Dick
Oatts in New York Benjamin, to date, has released over 50 albums as a solo
artist and as front man of his groove orientated ensemble New Cool Collective.
His solo work varies from postmodern interpretations of classic Dutch
avant-garde with drum icon Han Bennink and enfant terrible Misha Mengelberg to
collaborations with Dutch poets, pop singers and hip hop artists. Aside from
left field punk jazz projects like Bughouse and The Itch his recordings have
ventured into lush seventies Creed Taylor inspired productions (Deal, Project S)
and pleasantly understated renditions of classic evergreens (Trouble, Café
Solo).
One of Holland’s most visible jazz musicians, Benjamin Herman also writes
columns and has had a radioshow for the past 12 years on national radio. He has
been presented with many musical awards and is secretly most proud of being
voted best Dressed Dutchman by Esquire Magazine…twice. At 54 his
contribution to the Dutch musical landscape cannot be underestimated.
