DID YOU KNOW ???!!! OR DO YOU KNOW ???!!!


THE FINAL CUT - BROTHER TO BROTHER - AUSTRALIA.....
*** Do or did you know : That there is a GINO VANNELLI limited edition vinyl single
LIVING INSIDE MYSELF / STAY WITH ME from Australia ??????

*** Do or did you know : That Ross Vannelli wrote the music for the movie THE FINAL CUT ??????

*** Do or did you know : That the singer Jennifer Holliday sung on her cd " FEEL MY SOUL" 1983 the song :
"JUST FOR A WHILE" ; The writers are Ross and GINO VANNELLI!! This cd is available at amazon...... ??????

*** Do or did you know : That a 1984/1985 lp release by ROSS VANNELLI with his band called SENDER the album is titled EXILED ON THE EARTH (RCA KKL 10547) includes LEE RITENOUR and JOE VANNELLI. GINO wrote one song and arranged the title song. "Just the beat of my heart". We do not know where it is available on sale....We think this LP is only for sale at second - hand stores. Did you ever hear the Sender LP "Exiled on Earth"? Ross Vannelli was the lead vocalist on the LP and of this group. Anyway, 3 of the songs GINO was involved with. The first one "Stuck on a Star" he co-wrote the music with Gloria Sklerov. The 2nd track "Just the Beat of my Heart" he and Ross co-wrote the lyrics and music and the 3rd track with same title as the LP "Exiled on Earth" GINO did the arrangements with Lee Ritenour and Ross. Very good LP for 1984/1985. Just right for that time period. Ross sings well. Kinda rock and roll. The song "Stuck on a Star" of which Ross wrote the lyrics, sounds like it might be autobiographical. He sings about the ladies he is interested in are just looking at the "star - the drummer" and wishing they were with him. Like they only talk to Ross to get near GINO ?????? Probably reading way too much into these lyrics - If you have heard this LP tell us your feelings about the songs and music please.....
Joe Vannelli played on the LP also. But no GINO vocals - oh well. He writes good music.... needless to say ??????

GINO VANNELLI'S NAME MENTIONED ON THE DUTCH RADIO AND TV !!!


UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR GINO VANNELLI'S MUSIC IN HOLLAND.
A yell..... a scream.....a shock in a very good way...... we always feel excited and flushed with joy when we hear Gino Vannelli's name or Gino Vannelli's music and voice on the Radio or TV and we were spoiled rotten again last few weeks....... Our local radio Schiedam plays "Wild Horses" and "It Hurts To Be In Love" often and Sky Radio is a good radio station too, by the way...... all stations and channels who play GINO'S MUSIC ARE ALWAYS GOOD !!! (LOL!!!) .......And last week there was a TV program in which the Daughter of a famous piano-player in Holland called Louis van Dijk was interviewed, she is a TV host and reads also the news and now she sings live on stage with her dad behind the piano, that's why she was on TV because of her tour in Holland. If we remember well her name is Selma van Dijk and some words in this interview caught our ears, like the name of Frits Landesbergen who also plays with her and he played the vibraphone with Gino in the Metropole Orchestra during the Roosendaal concert 23 September 2000. And than the host asked her about her own musical heroes and which music she plays and loves and GUESS WHAT ??????? Yesssssss she said she is a fan of GINO VANNELLI and played his music very often also in the 70's and 80's..... huhhhhhh????? Yes we both heard this very well GINO VANNELLI .......and this interview gave us BIG smiles on our faces again.... Ear to ear smiles ........so if we have a chance we will go and hear this Lady sing....MUST BE GOOD !!!!!!

And the next day we had a cup of coffee in The Hague and we could not believe our ears the whole BIG DREAMERS NEVER SLEEP cd was played, my, oh my this was a very nice cup of coffee that's for sure........

Another day we meet 2 friends and the first thing they say to us : "Did you hear GINO VANNELLI on Radio 2 a few minutes ago???".
So there is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IN HOLLAND FOR GINO VANNELLI'S MUSIC and VOICE !!!!!!

A GINO VANNELLI SONG BY BRUNO PELLETIER :
BROTHER TO BROTHER......


GINO VANNELLI THE HERO OF BRUNO PELLETIER !! BRUNO SINGS A FAMOUS GINO VANNELLI SONG IN DUET WITH KIM RICHARDSON.
Today we received a 2 cd box from CDNOW with the album called : Bruno Pelletier Sur Scene. Bruno is a very famous singer from Montréal, Quebec, Canada. Also very famous in France and a BIG star from the musical/rock opera NOTRE DAME DE PARIS. Bruno's BIG Hero is GINO VANNELLI !!!

> And Bruno Pelletier's dream came true on Canada Day July the first 2000 with a live performance together with GINO VANNELLI.....You can read a story about this live performance on the fans stories webpage told by Deborah....

We both were very honoured when GINO introduced us to Bruno Pelletier in Montréal last December 2000, Bruno was very kind to us but we had no idea ( shame on us ... ) who he was at that time, we discovered that later that day during GINO VANNELLI's live concert with the Montréal Symphonic Orchestra when Bruno walked on stage to do the French part of "The Fool" the audience went wild when they saw Bruno Pelletier..... and about thousand people in the audience told us at the same time who Bruno Pelletier was and still is ofcourse.

Later that week in Montréal we bought a few Cd's of Bruno Pelletier because we were very curious to hear his music and later in Holland we bought the Notre Dame de Paris Cd and DVD and we are a kind of addicted to Bruno's voice too now, NOT addicted like to GINO VANNELLI's voice and music but we really like Bruno's voice too.....And we feel very proud we both shaked his hands.... and received his glorious smile .....

Anyways this Sur Scene CD is a great Musical work and there is a medley from The Notre Dame de Paris rock opera too. Than ......BROTHER TO BROTHER sometimes scary because for a second you think huh ??? it's Gino but than again you can hear it's Bruno Pelletier ....... but absolutely one of the BEST covers of a GINO VANNELLI song we ever heard ........... ..... GREAT MUSICIANS too and this Kim Richardson is TOP !!! We are very happy we bought this Cd and we can recommend this 2 cd box highly, very highly !!! WOW !!! A great live album by Bruno Pelletier that's for sure and we find some famous names too in the cd-booklet, nice people who were in Gino Vannelli's crew too like Mario Haché the lightengineer and André Caron the soundengineer. Ohhh by the way the 2 cd's are picture discs............ We feel there is a lot of BIG talent born in Quebec, Canada.................

Thursday the 18th of October 2001:
A NEWSPAPER FROM CANADA CALLED LE SOLEIL QUEBEC PRINTS AN INTERVIEW WITH GINO VANNELLI AFTER THE RIMOUSKI CONCERT.


THE INTERVIEW IS IN FRENCH BUT WE GOT HELP FROM JACQUES IN FRANCE.........
Thanks to Jacques in France we got some highlights in the English language and a link to the website of this newspaper in Canada : Le Soleil Quebec. The title is " Gino n’est pas « sorteux » " ...........

In this last interview Gino said to the journalist that he spent all his time working in the studio when it s not for him it is for other guys. He also explain that their fans are very particular because they are expecting of him something different and new at every new recording. He also said that he had the chance to be on stage sometimes with some friends (NIELS LAN DOKY, ALAIN CARON, THE METROPOLE, etc...)for to cut a too long period of isolation in his studio and for the pleasure of his fans. He is not actually the kind of artist that spent all his times on the road for a marathon tour around the world he prefers like an artisan to work in studio and he had the chance to have a strong following in all his projects.

Gino says in this interview actually he is working on two different projects. The first is a classical inspiration album a kind of follow up to A PAUPER IN PARADISE a mix of classical, pop and jazz. The second project was currently ready (music and libretto) THE FOOL but Gino need more time for finalizing and polishing the musical arrangements. After that he had spent some days in NEW YORK for choosing singers and actors for a future public performance, so you see a very big project. A lot of producers are interested by this last project that's nice, no ??? All those news are very interesting isnt it ? directly from Québec.

This a little translation from this interview one more thing "SORTEUX" is a old french sentence it means that he didn't goes out if you prefer he didn t like to be out of his studio it comes from the french verb SORTIR (go out). The speaking in Quebec is a few different of the french speak in France. They use some sentence of old french and they speak with a different accent. The first time i ve heard Gino speaking in french if i remember well it was at the CASINO DE PARIS in 1992 he speaks to the audience with this particular (charming) quebecer accent and that s exactly the same with belgians (wallons) and swiss people for us it s very easy to know from what part of the world they comes. I hope that i was not too long with this email. all the best in Schiedam, jacques..........

SALUTI A GINO !!!
Caro Gino, probabilmente non leggerai mai questa mail. Nel mondo c'è tanta gente che non si incontra mai ma ha le stesse speranze, gli stessi sogni, le stesse paure, le stesse vibrazioni. Io ho scoperto di esserti vicino attraverso la musica, e per questo Ti ringrazio; non sarà mai abbastanza, in questa breve vita, la voglia di ascoltarti. E a chi ti fa sognare, sperare, commuovere o ridere non sarà mai abbastanza il mio ringraziamento. Grazie Gino e chissà, in questa o in un'altra vita, che non ci si possa incontrare.
I migliori auguri
Fabio Della Balda.

Whoever feels the need to translate this Italian e-mail in the English language for us, please do and e-mail the translation to us so we can put it in here.

Translation 1 thanks to Cherilyn in Holland :
Dear Gino,
Probably you will never read this mail. In the world there are many people who will never meet each other, but who have the same hopes, the same dreams, the same fears, the same vibrations. I have discovered that I am near to you; it will never be enough, during this short lifetime, my wish to listen to you. And to him who makes you dream, hope, moves you, or makes you laugh, I can never thank them enough. Thank you Gino, and who knows, in this or the next life, we might meet.
Very best wishes, Fabio Della Balda.

V98.7 is one of only 2 radio stations here in Detroit that ever play GINO. Alexander also has the big promotions office here in Detroit (Hi-Falutin Music) and his company started the Montreaux Jazz Festival here in Detroit and they do all the promotions for all the Jazz Stars (Al Jarreau, Bob James, etc..) who come to town. He must have played "I Just Wanna Stop" a bunch of times on his radio show and decided to put it on his new album. Since he is a flutist it should be really interesting what rendition they have come up with of this song.

AN ANONYMOUS E-MAIL FROM A GINO VANNELLI FAN SOMEWHERE IN THIS WORLD.....


QUALITY WILL BE RESTORED..... GINO VANNELLI QUALITY .......
Gino Vannelli is a great example of what is lacking in today's music. Along with Joni Mitchell, Rod Argent and a few others, he represents a different time and philosophy. Once upon a time, excellent musicianship, attractive melodies and rich chord-progressions were valued. I feel SO sorry for these kids and young adults today. It's so sad that there is a whole generation that thinks Madonna, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit etc. are coherent. When they find out what has been kept from them, there will be a revolution, and quality will be restored.

GINO VANNELLI FANS FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD ......


I LOVE the idea of a Box set!
(1) : USA :
I LOVE the idea of a Box set!
I have been a devotee since the mid-70's and have all of Gino's music on vinyl. Alas, that does not work for my car, which has a CD player. I too have often wondered "Why Not?". T P de Man, Atlanta, GA, USA.

(2) : FRANCE :
hello les amis,
you can write in your web site if you want the followings informations, depending on the price if the cost of this boxset is under 100 us$ i m ready to order a quantity of 10 for me my family and close friends.

(3) : GERMANY :
Yes we are very interested in this idea and in this cd's box! Auf wiedersehen,

A REACTION ON THE NEWSPAPER-ARTICLE UNDERNEATH FROM A
GINO VANNELLI FAN IN ITALY......


A WISH FROM AN ITALIAN GINO VANNELLI FAN !!!
Hello, I have always hoped that a record company could publish a Gino Vannelli's setbox with rare and-or unreleased tracks, with live -versions from seventies concerts (in the 1980 was ready a live album from "brother to brother tour") and with "Twisted Heart". If this setbox will be published I shall buy it immediately. On the Italian internet cd-shop "cdflash" it's possible order a 20bit remastered Japanese version of "Nightwalker" cd;
Best regards,Fabio.

The web address of "cdflash" is on the GINO VANNELLI LINKSPAGE. Go there and search for GINO VANNELLI.

A QUESTION - AN IDEA - A REQUEST - A HUMBLE PRAYER -
A SUPPLICATION - A DREAM - A WISH.


THOUGHTS FROM A GINO VANNELLI FAN.......
WHAT IS AM RECORDS doing with the 6 fiRST GINO VANNELLI albums ???? I WANT A COMPLETE EDITION IN A SETBOX with a great booklet a 24 bit remastered edition and a lot of remix and rare and/or unreleased tracks. If it 's not enough to ask ...

I ve since a long time a little idea to submit. The complete AM catalogue of GINO s recordings was pressed for the first time on cd in 1988, I think, it will be a great idea to pressed and sold again in the 24 bit technology and why not in a digipack edition. On EBAY you can see sometimes the CRAZY LIFE cd sold 100 and more dollars only for an album of 25 minutes of music. So my idea is for less than 100 $ it will be probably viable to made and sold a boxset with the complete AM recordings in an enhanced edition and added with some rarities. In JAPAN some producers are pressing cd's of cult artists in a serie of 100 to 300 only. So my idea is : do you think that on your web site or on the ginov.com site it will be possible to preorder (without money just for have an idea of how many people can be interested) with people all around the world which are interested by a limited enhanced edition of the complete Gino's AM catalogue in a nice boxset. Later if the quantitie of people interested is enough, may be VIE RECORDS or hip-ho or anybody company will be ok for the release of this nice collector. I think the idea will be great to submit to GINO and why not, possible if all the fans around the world preorder seriously these precious recordings? I think the idea is also good for the unreleased TWISTED HEARTS album.

What do you think of that ?

A cry for help from a GINO VANNELLI FAN IN OREGON !!!


A music room for a school in Oregon, USA.
Hello:
I am the parent of a 4th and 7th grader at Forest Hills Lutheran School in Cornelius, Oregon.
(approx. 45 minutes from Portland).
I attended Gino Vanelli's debut at Carnigie Hall while I was living in New York during the late 70's/early 80's.
I am looking for any help possible for funding our new music room.
It would be most appreciative.
Sincerely, Holly Sue Brooks, Brooks & Brooks Investment Advisors.


Dear Barend and Trees:
Thank you for responding to my last email.
Forest Hills Lutheran School is a small school with grades ranging from K-8th. We are in the process of building a new gym and music room. Many of the students here study music. I have been a fan of Gino Vannelli since the late 1970's. I also thought that Gino Vannelli had a house here in Portland, Oregon but I am not positive of that. However, it looks like he has recorded in this area due to the press release I read from ASC in Eugene, Oregon.

Enclosed is a wish list to anyone who would like to donate to our music needs:
Carpeting @ $12.50/yd = $2250
Chairs @ $25 each = 875
Tables 500
Desk, filing cabinet 500
CD Sound System 500
Music Stands 500
White Board 250
Suzuki Keyboard 2000
Band Instruments 5500

Please make a check out to: Forest Hills Lutheran School with a note as to where the funds are to be directed. I will write a thank you note and enclose a receipt. You may send the funds to: Holly Brooks P.O. Box 641, Hillsboro, OR 97123 and I will take them to the school. I would like to keep a record as to the outcome of this email.
We would appreciate any help at all. Perhaps we could have a Gino Vannelli wall showing all that he has accomplished in his musical career. It would be a good example of what can be accomplished in life.
Where ever you post this Barend and Trees, I sincerely appreciate your efforts and thank you very much.
Best Wishes ... Holly Sue Brooks, Brooks & Brooks Investment Advisors.
Parent of 4th and 7th grade students.

Gino in concert in Rimouski, Quebec, Canada !!!!
Rimouski International Jazz Festival
NOW YOU CAN ORDER TICKETS ON LINE !!!!! GO FOR IT !!!!!!


It's a fairy tale that Rimouski, Quebec, Canada is near by Montréal......
We heard and read that some people say and write that Montréal is close by Rimousky, that is a fairy tale. People say or write everything without an investigation before, they say or write something without thinking, and people start e-mailing us and asking us all kind of information, we like to give good and honest information to everybody....... and to give good information one have to investigate and search and ask around. We received information from The Quebec Tourist department and it is 539 kilometers (335 miles), yes really 539 kilometers (335 Miles), from Montréal to Rimouski, Quebec. That's more kilometers from our home in Holland to Paris. But there is an airport in Rimouski - East, so you can check out if you can fly from Montréal to Rimousky.

But a car-ride will be very beautiful too through this wonderful Canadian land. So if you really, really want to see and hear GINO VANNELLI live on stage again or for the first time it's worth while to make such a BIG trip up north in Canada.

A VACATION IN QUEBEC ......... JUST PERFECT !!!
Especially when there is a GINO VANNELLI live concert !!!

The Haitek Haiku Cd in the racks now so you can feel it in your hands for real.
We received an e-mail from a Dutch Gino Vannelli Fan that he bought the Haitek Haiku cd at the Bijenkorf in Amsterdam so people who do not have internet can buy the Haitek Haiku CD now at the Bijenkorf and we shall check out the other BIG record stores too. It's great that the Haiktek Haiku cd is for sale at the Bijenkorf, in Rotterdam they have a BIG CD department and GINO VANNELLI has his own section out there. And a lot of people shop at the Bijenkorf !!!

This remembers us about Donner - Rotterdam, a very BIG and famous bookstore with a CD department, we were there last week and we saw the GINO VANNELLI section at the back of the rack so we rebuilt it and put Gino's nameplate and CD's in the front so people could see the CD-pictures-sleeve !! Always fun to do and we cannot stop ourselves.........

So Holland it's for sure you can order or buy the Haitek Haiku CD now in the record stores.

We only have 2 lines at the moment about the Copenhagen Haitek Haiku live concert and one of them is from Niels Lan Doky, so we feel there were not many GINO VANNELLI Fans out there ??? Here are 2 lines :
  • Hi, just wanted to let you know that the Haitek Haiku concert was so great and magical, we cannot believe we were there.....amazing !!!
  • The concert went amazingly well ! Gino was in top shape and was incredible, despite short sound check and other technical challenges....The band sounded just great, and especially Thanh Lam surpassed herself and delivered a real magic performance. It was a big succes.

The French NELSON cd listed at CD now but very difficult to find !!!


The duet : L'Amour en Face (In The Face Of Love) NELSON and GINO VANNELLI.
If you want to buy the NELSON cd : "Je Suis D'ailleurs" you can find it at CDNOW but they listed it under the wrong Nelson. If you click on this CDNOW link : and do a search for Nelson you will get a Nelson list, take the first Nelson on the list and scroll down to imported albums and you will see Nelson 1998
$ 18.99, that's the right CD !!! And when you click on Nelson and go to the trackinglist you will see track number 9 : L'Amour en Face. You can also do a search by song title :
L'Amour en Face and than you will get there immediately.

So we all try to make it easier for all GINO VANNELLI fans to order all GINO VANNELLI's work, the wonders of the web !!!

Because CDNOW is gone the message above does not work anymore so we found this link at amazon dot com : Je Suis D'Ailleurs
The information is very low though... but there is only 1 cd called : "Je Suis D'Ailleurs" by Nelson with the Gino Vannelli duet : L'amour En Face / In The Face Of Love.

We are sorry but the BIG bosses do not book the Haitek Haiku concert in Amsterdam and now it is final! You will see at the Melkweg website that they changed the line on the 10th of July from Gino Vannelli to : "Niels Lan Doky "Haitek Haiku" featuring Gino Vannelli" and there is also a time but next week you will see cancelled !! It's a pity because they do not realize what they will miss.

So let's keep our fingers crossed for Paris, we will write about Paris as soon as we hear news, you can be sure of that.

Cancelled, NOT cancelled, cancelled.....NOT CANCELLED...Yes...NO....YES AGAIN.... !!! Do you want see 2 crazy Gino Vannelli fans behind a computer
come to Schiedam, Holland..... NOW !!!

We will never ever forget this Thursday of the 21 st of June 2001, e-mails and e-mails and more e-mails from the crazy music business world of all important people like promotors, booking agencies, venues and publicity and promoting departments, FIRST YES Amsterdam, than NO Amsterdam, than yes.... again and than no... again.
We write the Amsterdam news on our GINO VANNELLI website on different pages and suddenly we have to remove it all again, we e-mail more than 200 people, most of them GINO VANNELLI FANS and the same day we have to e-mail them all again and give them all a BIG disappointment !!! OK but there is still hope for Amsterdam !!!! That's the latest e-mail we received on this Thursdayevening the 21st of June 2001 at 22.16pm : a quarter past 10 in the evening.

My, oh my, we hope Niels Lan Doky and GINO VANNELLI can keep their heads by music and creating music and that they can do their life's work without worrying about business matters in this crazy music world.
we feel they deserve totally and completely artistic freedom and that the business people allow us, the fans, to enjoy our favorite artists live on stage and that the business people give the artists a chance to perform live in good venues and in artistic and musical freedom !!!

So the only concert which is 100% confirmed now at this moment is Copenhagen, Denmark and Paris is still to be confirmed !!! So beware !!!
Amsterdam is so confusing BUT THERE IS STILL HOPE !!!! One advice : stay tuned, we wait now with e-mailing you all again, we bet you got really sick of us (LOL!!!)
So keep reading this page 4 of the GINO VANNELLI newspaper and the Niels Lan Doky webpages and the GINO VANNELLI tourdatapage.

The only thing we want is to give people all over this planet a chance to buy tickets for a GINO VANNELLI live concert or a guest live performance. In the past without the internet people did not know it and heard afterwards that Gino gave a live concert somewhere on this planet...... And that is horrible and a nightmare but now with the wonders and miracles of the internet we have to use these oppertunities while we have it. The internet and e-mail is the most quickest way to inform the people of this world.

THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT


WHO IS FRANK STEINER ??? !!! Frank Nicolas Steiner ??? !!!
After tons of incoming e-mails with the same question : " Who is Frank Steiner ??? "
We decided to put a kind of an answer in this GINO VANNELLI newspaper. Here we go :..... Frank N. Steiner is just a name that Gino Vannelli came up with to have a name that sounds something close to "Frankenstein".
The guy's name is Francis Nicholas Steiner, which would be Frank N. Steiner. Sounds like "Frankenstein" if you say it fast. I guess the idea with Frank N. Steiner is like with Frankenstein, that he is a monster on the surface, but deep down inside, there is a normal person.

THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT is the 9th musical work of art on the Haitek Haiku album by Niels Lan Doky produced by GINO VANNELLI. See the lyrics.

TIERRAS DE AMORES Y SOMBRAS !!
The concert was great......

Wow !!! Gino did the Spanish song : "Tierras de Amores Y Sombras" must have been fantastic with this Orchestra from Venezuela, one Gino song most of us did not hear live on stage with a BIG Orchestra yet .................We bet Gino hit all the people from Venezuela in their hearts with His voice and a song in the Spanish language.

News from Venezuela......No....NOT Venezuela but Montréal, anyways it's about the Venezuela concert !!!


News from our Friend who makes our hearts smile !!
Allo ! how are you !
The concert in Caracas has been good for shure, nice venue, the band was tight and had fun to play.The Orchestra did a great job on their side too.They were conducted by Simon Leclerc the same conductor that you've saw in Montréal. He still did a really good act. After the show we received lots of good comments from the productions and fans. Productions probably has understood what was the reason of all those reherseals.... Gino told me on my last E mail from him that he had enjoy the experience over there and has received good comments on his side about the show.

Overall was a great succes....

Jimmy Haslip, Jeroen de Rijk, Jorris Roelofs, Dado Moroni and Frits Landesbergen played with their hearts again....


Jorris Roelofs a young Man who celebrated his 17th birthday only 4 weeks ago and he playes the SAX like he did it already for 75 years!!
Sunday afternoon again a live jazz concert, Jimmy Haslip, Jeroen de Rijk and Frits Landesbergen who played the drums again......Frits played the vibraphoon during the GINO VANNELLI / Metropole Orchestra concert in Roosendaal, to see and hear him play the drums now was really amazing and the joy he showed in playing was great !!

Jorris Roelofs was the winner of a musical competition during the Hifi show and on sunday afternoon he played as a guest in this band. We could not believe our ears, what a talent and what a great Sax-Player and the way Jimmy, Jeroen, Dado and Frits played together with Jorris in harmony was very touching, those musicians do not play much with eachother they all come from different countries : USA, Holland and Italy but give them all an instrument and they speak the same language my, oh my we enjoyed the concert so much, MUCH too MUCH !!!

During the concert Jeroen de Rijk told short stories and GINO VANNELLI's name was mentioned !!! Jeroen said that when he was a young man and bought his first albums of the YellowJackets, GINO VANNELLI and Chaka Khan there was always this bass-guitar player called Jimmy Haslip who was and still is his hero and Jeroen still could not believe he plays now with Jimmy Haslip live on stage, Jeroen is still confused about this !!! (LOL!!!)

After the concert we could thank all the Guys and guess what ??? We got a BIG present from Jimmy Haslip and all the bandmembers, they made us so shy but very happy !! It was a real gift from their hearts, a CD called :
" De doelen Lente HIFI show volume 1 2001 " . What a gift of wonderful Music !! On this CD play some famous Jazz musicians from Holland and also a Guitar-Player from Uruguay called : Leonardo Amuendo who knows Otmaro Ruiz so there was a lot to talk about..................Thank god we also had a chance to thank this young man Jorris who played the sax like a real genius.

And it was a real joy again to see and hear Jimmy Haslip play, Jimmy was so proud of Jorris and Jimmy said that Jorris is a good-hearted boy.

While typing this article we listen to this Doelen cd and it is just beautiful and relaxing.... Life is so beautiful with MUSIC !!! GOOD MUSIC !!!!
