Jazz saxophonist Dick de Graaf comes to Maastricht this November. Next to talking about jazz solos and applying these to standards, he'll be responding to all your burning questions!
As a bandleader, composer, arranger and self-managing artist dedicated to jazz – in his definition “acting as a guest house in which elements from the surrounding musical world are welcomed with curiosity”– Dick de Graaf recorded and produced more than 25 CDs that received positive response by both public and press. His Challenge Records awarded CDs SAILING and NEW YORK STRAIGHT AHEAD got enthusiast critics and four stars in the important music magazine Down Beat.
As a follow-up of his long time association with Codarts University of the Arts in his hometown Rotterdam, he is currently active as an expert jazz educator and master research coach for advanced students and young jazz professionals.
