The masterful improvisor and composer Guus Janssen will be touching and playing the microtonal Fokker organ, on both 12-tone and 31-tone keyboards. Special guest is clarinet and saxophone player David Kweksilber, who will provide him with musical accompaniment during several improvisations. For the programme Janssen will make choices from works of John Bull, Duke Ellington and Guus Janssen himself. Also a work of Kweksilber will be performed, along with improvisations on a micromodal blues and in an 'untamed' tuning. Janssen will also compose some short pieces and (jazz) themes especially for the Fokker organ to investigate the possibilities of improvising with microtonality. If you're curious to know where this leads to and you're up to hear a new sound, come and visit this exciting and unpredictable concert!
