All of Jazzmosax

Thisav

If ever I wanted to relive a year and all that happened in it, 1997 wasn't the one. I won't go into detail, but full of unnecessary and of course totally undeserved misery I usually did not see coming at all.

97 Cracks Again

Done it before. With miserable outcome. Once but never again, a firm promise to yourself. But change comes slowly, if ever. So sooner or later history repeats itself and you find yourself thinking 'oh no, not again !!'.

Not Again !!

Fired, no money, my car broke down and my gal broke up. Boy do I need a drink... ?

Get Me Some Water, Please

Candlelight filters through the curtains, swirling on the dance floor. High heels write curly letters in the dust. Tired eyes, they follow every move, intense and gazing. Cause this is... the last dance...

Bossa Finale

Steep hills, high mountains and deep crevices. my favorite nightmares. Ladders, balconies, rooftops, unfenced edges, anxiety kicks in instantly. The overwhelming urge to jump off the edge just to end the unbearable fear of falling, far too well known to me. But that's not what this song is about, is it ?

Too Close (For Comfort)

This Dutch title translates as 'Sounding' or 'Harmonic', both I felt were reasonably appropriate to the tune.

Klinkend

Asterix, Obelix, Melodix, hope some of the magic potion rubs off on this one. You might hear A and O walking along together in the theme tune.

Melodix

Phonetical spelling of the Dutch frase 'Het is af', meaning as much as 'It is finished'. Needless to say the song took some doing, being a 3/4 waltz with a quasi double feel 4/4 bridge.

CMV '93

Dutch title, translating as 'Back To Westers'. Westers used to be a frequently visited cosy café-restaurant in my neighbourhood. Unfortunately it went out of business in 2011, so the song might be a bit melancholic.

Terug Naar Westers

Guitars, IT job, piano, clarinet, and saxophone...

Among these, the saxophone struck a profound chord with me and became a lifelong passion. It led me to discover my love for jazz and improvisation, particularly in the realm of mainstream, melodic jazz. The songs I composed during the 80s and 90s reflect this preference but also incorporate unique harmonies and time signatures. Although I frequently performed these compositions on stage, it wasn't until 2022 that I decided to record and release them. This endeavor resulted in two albums, 'A10' and 'Thisav,' as well as a track named 'Chujad.' In August 2023, I unveiled 'Fried,' an album featuring entirely new compositions with a fresh perspective on rhythm and blues chord sequences. Februari 2025 saw the birth of 'Airlift', all original tunes and an album with a different sound.
Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy the music.
