We’re here to have a ball'. RED makes music according to Art Blakey’s creed.
RED is a new band with two established musicians and two upcoming talents. Their sound is compelling, catching, and energetic, with quirky compositions doing justice to the rich hardbop-tradition. Soulful jazz with a wonderful Hammond organ, the classic trumpet/tenor sax combination and American swinging drums. In the frontline are trumpeter Ellister van der Molen and super talent Gideon Tazelaar, who is at present studying in New York. Organist Bob Wijnen and drummer Sander Smeets are the motor of this steamy band. Each musician has an impressive solo career, but the surplus value when performing together is a fact.
