Over dit evenement
Jan Wouter Oostenrijk - Traveling East tour 2022 - solo guitar program
Jan Wouter Oostenrijk (JWO) studied jazz and improvised music at the Amsterdam Conservatory and did his master in Rotterdam. He received the “Gouden Notenkraker” award for his contribution to Dutch live music with the NL/Moroccan band Raïland in 1996. Past decades he became a successful international artist with innovative crossovers such as Sharqi Blues and Maghreb Jazz.
Jan Wouter toured with his band in Europe, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan and released 5 albums.
For his latest album We are connected, Jan Wouter has added extra frets between the usual frets on the neck of the guitar, to produce quarter tones as we know from North African music and Middle Eastern maqam playing. In Western music, the semitone is the smallest distance between the notes, just think of the white and black keys of the piano. Quarter tones are in between.
