- niks project: future museum
(1997, cd, nl, bvhaast 9705)
Dutch drummer and composer Arend Niks assembled his Niks Project in 1994 when the NPS (Dutch Broadcasting Foundation) asked him to write for and to perform at the "Klap Op De Vuurpijl" festival. The ensemble did a small tour in Holland in 1996, resulting in this beautiful album.
One can hear that Steve Buckley (alto sax), Joost Buis (trombone), Oren Marshall (tuba), Arend Niks (drums), Paul Stouthamer (cello), Frans Vermeerssen (tenor, soprano sax), Eric Vloeimans (trumpet) and Cees van Zeeland (piano) had a lot of fun.
Fine composition (by Arend Niks) and superb improvisations make "Future Museum" an excellent modern jazz album.
Not the easiest album to track down, but if you can find it, it'll be worth your while.
