The Art of Two
Ilja Reijngoud en Ed Verhoeff spelen The Dutch Real Book.
Reijngoud en Verhoeff kennen elkaar al heel lang. Zij speelden samen in de band Nueva Manteca, bij het duo Izaline Calister & Ed Verhoeff en op elkaars CD’s. Ook verzorgden zij samen vele intieme huiskamerconcerten.
Omdat zij een brede muzikale interesse delen, hebben zij ervoor gekozen om samen als duo verder te gaan. Ze willen een nieuw geluid laten horen en muziek maken die de traditionele stijlen overstijgt. De sleutelwoorden zijn interactie, vrijheid, en speelplezier. Het lijnenspel tussen trombone en gitaar wordt in dit duo explosief vermenigvuldigd door het gebruik van electronica.
Met het project The Dutch Real Book spelen Ilja en Ed de meest uiteenlopende composities van Nederlandse Jazz musici, van de vroege jaren 40 tot moderne liedjes. Dit programma wordt vaak uitgevoerd met Tineke Postma als gast.
Het duo speelt verder regelmatig andere programma's met solisten Angelo Verploegen, Margriet Sjoerdsma, Sun Mi-Hong en Elizabeth Simonian.

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.
