Vogelkwartet with guests

Bandleader and double bass player Tjitze Vogel is an experienced jazz player whose credits range from Joe Lovano and Chet Baker to Anouar Brahim and Chano Dominguez. His compositions for the band reflect his early exposure to the music of Bela Bartok and lgor Strawinsky as well as his love for the lore of all kinds of Folk.

All four members have an extensive background in jazz as well as contemporary classical, rock and folk music. The versatility of the band and its members creates a music beyond categories, one of the best rewards a creative listener could hope for.
