joris roelofs

Last saturday at Museum Café. Joris Roelofs on saxophone.
"A lyrical and swinging player that is grounded in tradition and knows how to interweave contemporary influences in a tasteful way" is how the jury report of the Deloitte Jazz Award 2004 characterizes Joris Roelofs. A year earlier he received an important American incentive prize, the Stan Getz/Clifford Brown Award, and even before his 20st birthday he joined the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw.
