Over het evenement
Bram Wijnands began playing piano at the age of three. By the time he turned eight, he studied Barrelhouse Blues (Boogie Woogie) and stride-piano recordings of Fats Waller, James P. Johnson, Meade Lux Lewis, Jack Dupree and Memphis Slim. One thing led to another and in 1991, he graduated in Jazz instrumental education and piano performance at the Hilversum Conservatory in the Netherlands, the largest school of Jazz in Europe where he also picked up the bass.
During and after graduation, he performed with Jazz-artists Slide Hampton, Gene Connors, Richard Ross and Deborah Brown, then immediately embarked with his trio on a tour throughout eastern Europe, Russia, western Europe and the United States. Performances have included the Kansas City Blues and Jazz Festival, 18th&Vine Heritage Festival and the Topeka Jazz Workshop Concert Series. In this time span a six-piece ensemble was formed that eventually became a seven-piece, “The Majestic Seven”…
