09-03-08Erdmann 3000 @ SJU Jazz Podium, 08-03-2008Having been around in the jazz scene for years, a long applause for Erdmann 3000 was not an exaggerated gesture. Since they have delivered an energetic and inspiring performance of a postmodern jazz, where the experimental trip of Daniel Erdmann (saxophone tenor), Frank Möbus (guitar), Joannes Fink (bas), and John Schröder (drum) was truly enjoyable Read more...

09-03-08Karlheinz Stockhusen: Kontakte @ Theater Kikker, 08-03-2008It felt like walking through a tropical forest, stepping on old woods, smelling the dumpy air, and listening to the noises of winds, branches and unknown animals. It felt like a journey, where we expect the unexpected, be excited with what to come and at the same time scared of what would happen next. Read more...

07-03-08Music From Indonesia @ Theater Kikker, 07-03-2008One who is not familiar with Indonesian music, probably expects a set with pentatonic tones and traditional drums or percussions. But this is not just music from Indonesia; this is music from Indonesia composed by classical background componists. Bernadeta Astari, Ivan Garcia Artaraz, and Elwin Hendrijanto, all students from the Utrecht Music Conservatory, have shown the audience at the Theater Kikker last night, how their passionate minds and feelings on Indonesian music can deliver a World Class performance.

29-02-08High Tone @ Ekko, 28-08-2008There was no words spoken in that concert, but High Tone has proven to be able to communicate with their audience. The music speak for itself and satisfy the souls that were coming to Ekko tonight. With a mix of punk, techno, reggae, sometimes Asian tones and mostly rock, one can certainly enjoy this French-originated-band on a Thursday night like this, when weekend is almost there and you have already fed up with your work.

24-02-08Sensuàl @ SJU Jazz Podium, 23-02-2008It was indeed a warm winter night, but it felt like a hot summer at the SJU Jazz Podium, where the audience was amused by the Brazillian jazz music played by Sensuàl, which is not just another jazz band from Utrecht. This band consists of Eva Kieboom (singer/songwriter), Emiel van Rijthoven (keyboard/componist), Gijs Anders van Straalen (percussion), Sven Happel (bass), and Jasper van Hulten (drums). Established in 2003, so far the band has released two CDs; Acústico in the 2004 and Salve in 2008. Read more...

16-02-08Elwin Hendrijanto @ Utrecht Centrale Bibliotheek, 15-02-2008You don't need any introduction for Elwin Hendrijanto, a brilliant pianist who is currently finalising his master degree at the Utrecht Music Conservatory. This was the third time I watched his concert and he never stops to amaze me. He's really making me proud to be an Indonesian in the Netherlands. Read more...

12-02-08Kim Hoorweg & the Missionary 5 @ Winkel van Sinkel, 10-02-2008Kim Hoorweg is only 15 years old, yet she already performed at the biggest jazz event of the country last year, the North Sea Jazz Festival. She might not have the voice of Norah Jones nor Nina Simone, but she indeed has all that jazz. Thus, it wasn't a surprise that her free concert with the Missionary 5 last Sunday was very popular.

11-02-08Young Sinatras @ Mammoni, 10-02-2008I knew that I will be sold with anything involving a bunch of men in black suits, and so was I with the Young Sinatras yesterday. I warn you ladies, this band consists of 10 beautiful men, three with trumpets, three with saxophones, one pianist, one drummer, one bassist with an Elvis’ hair style, and not to mention a singer with a soulful voice.

29-01-08Bebas @ Waterhole, 25-01-2008The crowd was better than their last performance, said one of the guests. It was another Bebas’ show again in Waterhole, Amsterdam. You will enjoy this "Indonesian band living in Amsterdam" if you like “pop forty” kind of music or you are simply an Indonesian. Half of the songs performed are Indonesians that were popular in the 90s, with the fast beat to dance on. Read more...
