Just finished “Disease” by Lady Gaga and “The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret” by Queens of the Stone Age. Two very different tunes but with a great vibe! Disease has a polytonic intro and The Lost Art a trumpet-special. Check out the Sibelius-audio by clicking the links.

Just finished a new composition for Big Band Friesland. Here’s a bit of the saxophone special. (it’s not recorded yet, so it’s a Sibelius-export)

Here’s Minuano by Pat Metheny in a very nice arrangement by Bob Curnow.

Just finished a new arrangement: “The Door” by Teddy Swims. Did a little experiment in the middle-section: check it out!

Last week I wrote a big band arrangement of “Die With A Smile” by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga for my Punk “N Jazz Orchestra. Nice song!

Last Saturday was the release party of our new Punk ‘N Jazz Orchestra Album: Players Only!

I wrote 5 arrangements and a composition for this album and we are very proud of the resulting record. It’s on Pink (or Punk)vinyl. More info and purchase-possibilities here.

Here’s a little taste of the 3-concert tour with Stageband Jazz Orchestra that I conducted.

Lingus

Cliroy

Young Stuff/Thing of Gold (Medley)

Portal

Tarova/Trinity/Quarter Master (Medley)

Atchafalaya

Shofukan

Broken Arrow

Just before christmas i’m playing two big shows in the Amsterdam Ziggo-Dome with Noordpool Orkest. A very nice way to end 2023.
