Harry Happel

The Dutch jazz trio INTRIODUCTION was set up in 1976 by leader Harry Happel, a fantastic self-taught piano player. The Trio got to the top in a short period of time after they had been on television and had played a lot of live jazz in the famous Dutch radio jazz program "Sesjun". After these performances, the media described INTRIODUCTION in terms such as: "exceptional class", "professional" and "swinging”. They felt honoured, after having played on the 100th, 250th and 500th broadcasting anniversary of the program, when they were asked to play in the 1000th program as well! The musical style of Harry Happel is mainstream and has been influenced by musicians like Monty Alexander, Oscar Peterson, Gene Harris etc

Bobby van Deusen

A concert by Bobby van Deusen could include “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Dizzy Fingers,” “The Entertainer,” “I Want a Girl,” “Maple Leaf Rag,” “Side By Side” or medleys from “The Sound of Music” or "The Phantom of the Opera."

“They’re familiar tunes. I try to play them in a way that not only catches people’s ears but gives them a chance to maybe have their own visualization of what’s going on as part of the music,” van Deusen said.

“I play really pretty piano music and mix that up with sing-alongs and family-friendly tunes. I do a couple of Ray Stevens’ things and keep people laughing and keep toes tapping and people smiling. I just play the piano the best that I can.”

Morten Schantz

Born: October 19, 1980

The new release of Danish pianist and composer, Morten Schantz (b. 1980), is an exploratory voyage of striking beauty and powerful dramaturgi provided by an inspired leader and a trio at its playing peak. This third album the Schantz trio, continues in the vein of the adventurous and critically acclaimed 2014 release, “Unicorn”, again augmenting the trio format with percussion throughout most of the tracks as well as adding horns and the Ondes Martenot on a few selections. Songs like “Pokhara”, “Apia”, “Hidden Island”, and the opener “Mountaineer” are all great examples of Schantz’ ability to compose mini suites in a highly personal way where the music floats like a river through grandiose landscapes. The title track “Passenger” is perhaps the greatest example of the uniqueness of Schantz’ writing with his trademark use of simplistic pop elements integrated with intricate polyrhythmic passages and rising crescendos contrasting with a very minimalistic outro reminiscing of something very suitable for a movie ending. With this exciting new release the trio offers up a free passenger seat where the listener can embark on a 45-minute inner adventure.
