about the album

Estafest

Anton Goudsmit guitar
Oene van Geel viola & cajon
Mete Erker saxophone
Jeroen van Vliet piano

Four eccentric improvisers in an unusual chamber music setting. Three band members are VPRO Boy Edgar Prize winners, Holland’s most prestigious anual jazz music award. All of them are constantly creating highly original music in diverse national and international projects. In Estafest it all collides: four pig headed players challenging each other in musical dialogue.

Estafest Live is the debut album of Estafest, and was recorded in De Toonzaal, s’Hertogenbosch, a small concert hall in a former synagoge.

Kristina Fuchs, Mete Erker & Jeroen van Vliet

After her album “Im Röseligarte”, based on the famous collection of 400 years of Swiss Folk Songs, singer Kristina Fuchs, born in Switzerland but living in Holland, decided to research Dutch traditional music. She stumbled upon a collection of Dutch folk songs, recorded and transcribed by Ate Doornbosch for his radioshow “Onder de Groene Linde”. Since ’57 he had been roaming the countryside with his taperecorder, asking people if they remembered some songs from their youth, and if they where willing to sing them for him. The show was a huge succes and has been running for 37 years till it ended in 1994. Some of the lyrics can be traced back to stories from the Middle Ages.

On this album we created new music, a mix of contemporary sounds and folkmelody’s, to put these old stories in a different perspective. A good example if this is the song above: “Heer Albert”, based on the ancient story of Heer Halewijn.
