Benjamin Herman - Jan Douwe Kroeske presents: 2 Meter Sessions #1744 - Benjamin Herman '2021

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 unprecedented 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 impro magus 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 (True Love’s
Flame, 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.
