The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw originated from the innovative New Concert Big Band, brainchild of Dutch pianist / arranger Henk Meutgeert. The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw Festival took place in April 1999, and featured dutch as well as international guest soloists; Sean bergin, Bud Shank, Misha Mengelberg, Martijn van Itterson, Jarmo Hoogendijk, Dick Oatts, Toon Roos, Ferdinand Povel, Jesse van Ruller, Allard Buwalda. Kickin' In The Front Window and Too Heavy To Carry are the two pieces wich we played with the Houdini's. this dynamic formation includes a rythm section with Bram Wijland on drums and Marius Beets on bass, Rolf Delfos on alto sax, Barend Middelhof on tenor sax, and on trumpet Angelo Verploegen, who is also a member of the JazzOrchestra of the Concertgebouw. Pianist Erwin Hoorweg plays a tasteful solo on Kickin' In The Front Window and Barend Middelhof solos and blends magnificently on the unique mutual composition by Rolf and Erwin, Too Heavy To Carry.
