The Jazz Delta

Because we are exploring the Dutch jazz landscape for this program, the question arose for us: which Dutch jazz musicians inspired us at the beginning of our careers? Which records did we listen to and which concerts did we attend? Of course, this is not entirely the same for both of us, but we figured it out. So in this fifth episode, a look back in time, think 80s-90s.
