KUCHING: Bands from Holland have enlivened the Borneo Jazz Festival in Miri with their Dutch flavours for three consecutive years since 2009.
Coming May 11-12, another Dutch band, the New Cool Collective (NCC), will make their debut appearance on the Borneo Jazz stage.
As a pioneer of Dutch jazz, the band has long been regarded as the ‘ugly duckling’ of the scene.
Jazz purists found their ‘soul jazz Latin flavours nineties vibe’ too hard and fast, but once a group of younger club-goers found their way to Café Meander where the sizzling orchestra played regularly, the dam burst.
The band is made up of saxophonist Benjamin Herman, guitarist Anton Goudsmit, drummer Joost Kroon, percussionists Frank van Dok and Jos de Haas, pianist Willem Friede, bassist Leslie Lopez and trumpet-player David Rockefeller.
NCC has won various awards — an Edison, the Heineken Crossover Music Award and the Gouden Notenkraker.
In recent years, they have toured England, Germany, Benelux, Africa, Canada, Russia and Japan.
They have not only played in the hippiest clubs but also in giant rock and pop festivals such as Roskilde festival in Denmark, Sziget in Hungary, Pinkpop and Lowlands in the Netherlands, Camden Mix Festival in London and the Aberdeen Alternative Festival in Scotland.
