HOME new album Ilja Reijngoud
A new, hip, modern, energetic and groovy jazz-rock album of my new band. 8 tracks played by an all-star line-up, Rob van Bavel (keys), Tom Beek (ten sax), Udo Pannekeet (bass) and Marcel Serierse (drums).
Some great soloists add their artistic contribution to this unique album. First off all Tineke Postma, who plays a beautiful solo on Easy Conversations. Furthermore Angelo Verploegen, gets wild on a NO-type groove, Ed Verhoeff guitar on a traditional partido alto, Oscar Cordero plays beautiful flugelhorn and Berend van Gurp nails the shit out of it on his bassbone.

NEW ALBUM ILJA REIJNGOUD out now!
For decades I've performed the songs of Horace Silver on many occasions and with various bands, and after several years I've decided to record my favorite six groovy Silver-hits. I arranged the songs with the lively spirit of Horace Silver in mind, and composed furthermore three originals, as reference to the great piano-player and composer.
With the great virtuoze Rob van Bavel as featured soloist, Marius Beets (bass and recording), Marcel Serierse (drums, percussion and mastering).
