Limited tickets are now on sale for an exclusive live album recording of two of the

Netherlands’ biggest jazz talents: Gideon Tazelaar (tenor sax) and Ian Cleaver

(trumpet), joined by the great Jorge Rossy (drums).

At this unique event in Studio150 / Bethlehemkerk, you are invited to the live

recording of the second album of trumpeter Ian Cleaver and saxophonist Gideon

Tazelaar, who will play together with legendary drummer Jorge Rossy (drums),

Felix Moseholm (bass), Benjamin Herman (alt sax) and Joris Roelofs (bass clarinet).

This recording is part of New Amsterdam Jazz’ series “The Masters”, in which each

edition, (a) young talent (band) and a more renowned master in jazz record a live

album together. The evening is organized in partnership with Amarte Studio

Concerts.

Saxophonist Gideon Tazelaar, trumpeter Ian Cleaver, and bassist Felix Moseholm,

– 'The Kittens’ as drummer Jorge Rossy calls them – started their musical bond in

New York City in 2017, where they shared the stage with musicians like Reggie

Workman, Wynton Marsalis, George Coleman, Rodney Green, and Joe Farnsworth.

During the Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2018, master musician Jorge Rossy

spontaneously joined Moseholm and Tazelaar for a performance. Determined to

play again with Rossy, Tazelaar and Moseholm organized a small Amsterdam-tour

with the drummer in the summer of 2020. This time also Ian Cleaver joined the

group. The newly found musical connection led to the recording of their debut

album Volume 1 which was released by DOX Records in May 2021. The album

received high praise in the press; headlines included “Make way for the new jazz

generation” (NRC Handelsblad) and “THE two jazz talents of the Netherlands

release debut album together” (Parool).
