During the Red Light Jazz festival, a Dutch and a German band will cross paths on our stage. Dutch Mountain Tribe might be based in The Netherlands, but encompasses five nationalities. And German saxophonist Fabian Dudek takes an international perspective with his band as well. This concert is an exchange with the Stadtgarten concert hall in Cologne and is made possible by NICA Artist Development.

Dutch Mountain Tribe spins a web of idiosyncratic melodies, enchanting rhythms and fiery improvisations. Like folk songs from a mythical Dutch mountainside, they are coloured by an arsenal of percussion instruments, flutes, bagpipes and other objects from the immense collection of band leader Koen Boeijenga. This versatile wind player and composer includes both young and established players in his seven-piece band.
