Projects
Ellister Three
with Vincent Koning (guitar) and Uli Glassmann. Two great guys to work with! When I was still a student on the conservatory I used to play in this kind of setup fairly often. It’s such a great way of playing together! Especially because it’s so flexible with only three people to work with. Definitely something I am very happy with. [Go to page]
David Lukács - Ellister van der Molen Quintet
with David Lukács (clarinet and tenor saxophone), Jos Machtel and a piano player and drummer yet to be announced. Honest, non-hip jazz music on a very high level.
More information will follow shortly. [Go to page]
Dim Kesber and the Augmenters
with Vincent Koning (guitar), Jasper Soffers (piano), Noah Nicoll (double bass) and Barry Olthoff (drums). Dim – who kicked off his musical career in the fourties with the Dutch Swing College band – is still going strong. Stylisticly balancing between Swing and Bop this is a nice band with nice arrangements. [Go to page]
New Generation Big Band
a new Dutch big band made up of young musicians, mostly graduates from the Amsterdam Conservatory. The NGBB presents a new sound: Big-band music with a contemporary note. Funky, groovy rhythms with great horn sections distinguish the New Generation Big Band. [Go to page]
Alice in Dixieland
Have we argued about the name!!! This all female band has existed for already more than 25 years starting as a true dixieland band. Nowadays the repertoire varies from swing to bebop to mainstream. Our unique selling point is our close harmony singing. We have been travelling all around the world and lately we can say Scandinavia just loves us! [Go to page]
Jimmy Lunceford Legacy Orchestra
