About:
On this special night, award-winning saxophonist Kasper Rietkerk takes the stage with music from his critically acclaimed album The Happy Worrier, performed by the original recording line-up. Written after Rietkerk received the Brubeck Living Legacy Prize in 2024, the album’s music is known for its openness and therefore leaves room for interpretation.
Last year, Rietkerk received a Dutch Edison Award for his debut album The Island.
“Rietkerk’s writing is impeccable: memorable themes, unexpected twists, and, above all else, space for the band to breathe.” – Tom Spargo, Jazzwise (2025)
“…definitely one of my favourite releases of the year so far….”
