All of the Above present: KAPOK
Dutch jazz trio Kapok fizzes with fierce, unpredictable energy. Subtle influences including funk, rock, classical music, free improv and African music flow together quite naturally in every performance.
The first thing you notice about Kapok is the unusual instrumentation. There is no bass; Remco Mentings drum kit is one of a kind; and Timon Koomen conjures up a kaleidoscope of sound on guitar. The French horn is generally thought of as an instrument from the classical tradition, but in the hands of Morris Kliphuis - one of the Netherlands most successful younger generation musicians - the horn sings, growls and grooves as if it were invented just to play jazz. Kapok won the Dutch Jazz Competition in 2012, the European Jazz Competition in 2013, and received an Edison, the Dutch equivalent of a Grammy, for their eponymous second album. Kapok tours internationally but this is their first major tour in the UK.
KAPOK is:
Morris Kliphuis french horn, cornet, synthesizer Timon Koomen guitar Remco Menting drums, percussion, vibraphone
