Welcome!
Since 2010 I have been posting jazz tips on LinkedIn and Twitter. Than in 2011 the idea came to me to start a blog. I am grateful to some people who encouraged me to really begin the blog. Thus, here and now is the time to gather my jazz tips for you. I hope you, all folks that like jazz, will (re)enjoy it.
Ofcourse my tips are not representative for all styles of jazz. My favourite jazz-style is the so-called: avantgarde-nu-future-modern-creative- jazz.
Looking forward to read your comments! Enjoy !
Greetz , Theo Van Eldik

(3) Rob van de Wouw
Rob van de Wouw is one of the young promising jazz trumpeters in The Netherlands. At the Conservatory of Rotterdam he was educated by Jarmo Hoogendijk, Benjamin Herman and Eric Vloeimans. His sound is characterized by a collection of electronic beats, acoustic instruments, eclectic improvisations over electro-funk grooves. His second album Tunnelvision shows “a glimpse of the future in jazz.” A couple of times I visited the gigs of Rob van de Wouw.
