In 1980 Dutch saxophone player Boris van der Lek got the jazz virus and from then on there simply was no stopping him. A turbulent career followed playing on stages worldwide and with many legends of the genre. In 1987 he became a member of the ensemble The Houdini's and a friendship with Rotterdam based writer, poet and outspoken character Jules Deelder followed. After playing with the Tough Tenors, Trio Me Reet, Livin' Blues, Golden Earring and Herman Brood & His Wild Romance, the time came for a new collaboration with Jules Deelder, the night mayor of Rotterdam. Recorded with engineer/producer Frans Hagenaars the vintage microphones picked up originals tracks and standards the duo recorded with the assistance of guitarist Cok Van Vuuren (Ocobar, Mathilde Santing, Fay Lovsky), bassist Peter Wassenaar ( Bram Vermeulen) and drummer Arend Niks (Corrie van Binsbergen, Orkater). Together they created a wonderfull and authentic jazz album that sometimes swings in a melancholy mood and at other times excites furiously. But most of all it’s an album that fills the heart with warmth.
