Cry baby by Dick de Graaf

Saxophonist Dick de Graaf is a highly regarded musician who owes his reputation to a certain degree of his unremitting fascination with the fringes of jazz. Born of this fascination is his desire to assemble unique combinations of the most diverse musicians with the result, music of the highest quality that is just as unique.
What is extraordinary is that, despite the many side-roads that he so eagerly explodes, the saxophonist Dick de Graaf always manages to maintain his unique sound and his unique style of playing. And this is above all the most essential goal for every jazz musician.
So likewise on his CD CRY BABY!; now in the company of a rising young guitar talent Jerome Hol and a loudly growling rhythm section, saxophonist/ composer de Graaf remains as always completely recognizable and sturdily on his feet, and that’s the way it should be – liner notes, Hans Dulfer

Line-up: Dick de Graaf – tenor saxophone; Jerôme Hol – guitar; Harry Emmery – bass; Erik Kooger – drums
