This is the weather to have a garden party! Sun on Sunday! I don't know how and where drummer/vocalist Jamal Thomas and his wife Nadine ordered this kind of weather but it worked. It was my first time with Jamal on djembe! We jammed some just before this video, for the people on the party, then spotted this idyllic spot and record a video for YOU. I can see there's still room for improvement as I am rushing a bit and in 0:28 I skipped a beat. Sorry Jamal! I'll give it back to you next time when we do the "falling leaves" edition or maybe the "snow edition"? :-) Still, such a nice caption of jamming in the sun and the peaceful environment of the Belgian countryside.

Before we start with all adventures around the new album DARK HORSE, let's stand still for a second and look back to the events of 2025...For me it was a busy and buzzing year with lots of different & exciting stuff going on and more that I could wish for. I am truly grateful and humbled. Thank you, dear people and agencies who continue to want to work with me, thank you, dear concert audiences, music lovers, dear friends&family, new acquaintances, and also extra thanks to my own body who lets me do all this! I decided to put a reel together with some of the activities on stage to give you an impression. If your activity together with me is not there, it doesn't mean I didn't like it but maybe there was no video evidence. There were even more off stage activities, therefore multiple shoutouts to: ArtEZ in Arnhem where I am teaching with a lot of joy, and these organisations/boards I am involved with and who contribute to our arts/music/jazz eco system: De Creatieve Coalitie, Bimpro.nl, VCTN, Kunstenbond Platformacct, Concertzender, BumaStemra, Stichting Brein. I wish you a happy and healthy new year and hope to see you again soon! P.s. Let's meet on 16th of January at Bimhuis! We will play the premiere of my new album DARK HORSE and there are still some tickets left. - This is the weather to have a garden party!
