About
Drummer Joost Lijbaart draws on a broad musical palette that spans jazz, jazz rock, improvisation and world music. That openness to different sounds and styles makes him a natural collaborator, and one of his more intriguing recent projects is a duo with cellist and vocalist Chieko Donker Duyvis. The two first played together at the Kamermuziek Festival Groningen, a meeting that clearly left both wanting more. Their collaboration is built on listening and responding rather than fixed arrangements, with Lijbaart's rhythmic instincts meeting Donker Duyvis's blend of classical cello, improvisation and Brazilian music. The result is something genuinely open ended, where the direction of the music shifts from night to night.
