Tijs Klaassen Quintet

Tijs Klaassen is a name to remember. Over the past few years, the bassist has become a prominent figure in the Dutch jazz scene. His own band embodies his creative approach to a traditional jazz quintet lineup. The band's sound allows plenty of room for improvisation, but at times, it also draws inspiration from the sounds of classical composers like Theo Loevendie, Ravel, and Alban Berg. Arco bass melodies, woodwind instruments, and the use of electronics all come together in the ensemble's distinctive sound. Each band member is deeply involved in the creative process in their own way, resulting in a very unique group sound.

Klaassen continually collaborates with both established figures and the greatest talents from his own generation. He has already recorded albums with Ben van Gelder and Theo Loevendie, and he plays in the bands of artists like Lucas Santana and Suzan Veneman. All the musicians in the quintet are among the most acclaimed young jazz musicians and composers in the Netherlands and Belgium.
