Jasper van't Hof should be considered one of Europe's best keyboard improvisers and he is at his very best during this solo piano concert at the Concertgebouw, focusing primarily on his original compositions. His playful opener, "Equivalent," toys with the listener before adding a childlike chant vamp for a bassline as he hums and improvises with his right hand. The pastoral "Stuttgart" seems more like an impression of a quiet scene in the country than a big city. "Zaire" is more suited to its title, quickly building upon its insistent African-like rhythm and never letting up the intensity. He adds a couple of familiar jazz compositions as well. He clearly savors Duke Ellington's "Prelude to a Kiss," performing it at a much slower than usual tempo, humming along with this lovely ballad in a spacious, lush arrangement. His interpretation of Horace Silver's "Peace" make it seem like a requiem. This intimate recording adds to the value of this impressive concert. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
Jasper van't Hof
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jun 30, 1947 in Enschede, Netherlands
Genre: Jazz
Over the years, jazz pianist Jasper van't Hof has issued solo recordings in addition to working with ensembles. Born on June 30, 1947, in Enschede, Netherlands, van't Hof was born into a musically minded family, as his father was a professional trumpet player and his mother a classical singer, leading to the youngster taking piano lessons from the age of five. By his teenage years, van't Hof knew that he wanted to pursue a career in music, playing in jazz bands in school, and by the age of 19 was playing at jazz festivals with such jazz notables as Pierre Courbois and Toto Blanke (it was while with Blanke that van't Hof co-founded a group called Association P.C.). During the '70s, van't Hof founded another outfit, Pork Pie, teaming up with Philip Catherine (guitar), Charlie Mariano (saxophone), Aldo Romano (drums), and J.F. Jennie Clarke (bass). Other bands that van't Hof contributed to soon followed, including Eyeball (which included sax player Bob Malach), Netherlands Quartet, and Pili Pili. Some solo titles that van't Hof has issued throughout the years include Solo Piano, Face to Face, and Un Incontro Illusorio, among others.
