Only couple of hours after I published my photos taken from the Sensuàl concert, I noticed a raised of traffic coming from the band’s official website. It is great to have been credited and I am glad to know that they like the images.

I should have blogged about this last week, when the confirmation that I can shoot during the Rumor Music Festival, came in. It is a festival night for adventurous music taking place on an irregular basis in Utrecht, and on March 8, 2008, it would the 52nd time the festival is organized.

Sensuàl @ SJU Jazz Podium, 23-02-2008

24-02-08 | No Comments

It 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.

Elwin Hendrijanto @ Utrecht Centrale Bibliotheek, 15-02-2008

You 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.

Culturele Zondagen and Algemeen Dagblad feature my work

14-02-08 | No Comments

The photos I’ve taken last Sunday have been featured on the official website of the Culturele Zondagen and a national newspaper, the Algemeen Dagblad. On Wednesday, 13 February 2008, the Culturele Zondagen placed two links to my posts on Kim Hoorweg & the Missionary 5 and the Young Sinatras. Soon after, the Algemeen Dagblad, which covers the event online, also did the same.

Kim Hoorweg & the Missionary 5 @ Winkel van Sinkel, 10-02-2008

12-02-08 | 3 Comments

Kim 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.

Young Sinatras @ Mammoni, 10-02-2008

11-02-08 | 2 Comments

I 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.

Bebas @ Waterhole, 25-01-2008

The 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.
