Info for Swing Street - Plays The Music of Cannonball Adderley

Throughout the 1960s, Adderley led one of the most popular groups in hard bop jazz. On Swing Street, drummer Eric Ineke and his quintet explore ten songs recorded by Adderley with his groups. Ineke, who was born and raised in the Netherlands, has been a major jazz drummer in Europe since the late 1960s. In addition to leading his own groups and working with top Europeans, he has recorded and performed with many American greats in Europe including Ben Webster, Dexter Gordon, Johnny Griffin, George Coleman, Chet Baker, Jimmy Raney, Al Cohn, Barry Harris, Eric Alexander and David Liebman. Ineke recorded on Timeless with such notables as pianist Rein de Graaf, Al Cohn, Dave Pike, David “Fathead” Newman, and Ronnie Cuber, although Swing Street is his debut for Timeless as a leader. To bring back the sound of the Cannonball Adderley Quintet, Ineke utilized four masterful musicians.

Dutch alto-saxophonist Tineke Postma has led nine albums of her own since 2003. Among those who participated in her projects have been Geri Allen, Teri Lyne Carrington, Ralph Alessi, and Kris Davis. Trumpeter Nico Schepers, who is from Belgium, has worked with several large orchestras including the Brussels Jazz Orchestra as has the up-and-coming tenor-saxophonist Sjoerd Dijkhuizen. Pianist Rob van Bavel has appeared on over 200 albums and worked with Woody Shaw, Randy Brecker and Johnny Griffin. Bassist Marius Beets led a group with his brother pianist Peter Beets in the 1990s, worked with the Houdinis, recorded with Doug Webb and Dave Liebman, and was on several earlier albums with the Eric Ineke Jazzxpress including sets featuring Liebman, Deborah Brown and Frank Morgan.

Eric Ineke & The Eric Ineke Jazzxpress




Eric Ineke
tarted his career in the sixties

Drummers like Philly Joe Jones and Elvin Jones were his inspiration. In 1969 he made his first record with Ferdinand Povel. From the seventies on Eric played in the legendary Rein de Graaff/Dick Vennik Quartet, The Ben van den Dungen/Jarmo Hoogendijk Quintet and The Piet Noordijk Quartet. During his career he recorded numerous CD’s and toured with many great American jazz musicians like Dexter Gordon, Johnny Griffin, George Coleman, Al Cohn, Jimmy Raney, Barry Harris, Eric Alexander, Grant Stewart and David Liebman.

He teaches at the jazz department of the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague and is giving Masterclasses over the whole world.

On April 1, 2017, Ineke turned 70 and celebrated this with a ‘Eric Ineke 70 Super Jam’ in the Bimhuis, Amsterdam. During the first half of the concert, Female Deputy Mayor of the Amsterdam city council Simone Kukenheim honored Ineke with a Knightage in the ‘Orde van Oranje Nassau’ for his unbridled dedication to the Dutch Jazz scene.

The Eric Ineke JazzXpress
consists of the very talented Rik Mol on trumpet and flugelhorn, Sjoerd Dijkhuizen on tenorsaxophone, Rob van Bavel on piano, Marius Beets on doublebass and ofcourse Holland’s most prominent Jazzdrummer Eric Ineke.

The repertoire is rooted in the Hard-bop tradition and the most compositions are written by the bandmembers themselves. With three generations of jazzmuscians in this explosive band, Hard-bop will get a contemporary meaning and you can trust The Eric Ineke JazzXpress for that.

Right from the start in 2006 the band got great critical acclaim and appeared in Germany, Belgium and many festivals in Holland including the Northsea Jazz festival. In 2008 the band was a big success on the European Jazzfestival in Athens ( Greece). During a succesful theater tour for JazzImpuls in 2009, the band recorded the live CD ‘’JazzXL, Blues, Ballads and other Bright moments’’ which was released in 2011.

In the summer of 2011 the band got an invitation from the American Jazz Museum to perform in Kansas City together with the great singer Deborah Brown. Together they recorded the album ‘’All Too Soon’’ which was running for a Grammy. In 2012 The Eric Ineke JazzXpress did a series of concerts with David Liebman, The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw and Deborah Brown in Holland and Germany to celebrate Eric Ineke’s 65th Birthday Anniversary.

In 2014 they performed with Deborah Brown at the Amersfoort Jazz Festival, which was recorded for Djazz TV, and the Bruxelles Jazz Marathon.

CD recordings by The Eric Ineke JazzXpress: Flames ‘n’ Fire ‘’If you like real Jazz, straight ahead without any gimmicks, this CD is for you’’ - David Liebman For the love of Ivie, a tribute to Ivie Anderson feat. Deborah Brown ‘’Brown proves every inch Reeves’, and Anderson’s equal’’ - Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes Xpressions in Time ‘’A tour de force on a high level’’ – Angelique van Os, Jazzmagazine ***** Jazz XL - Blues, Ballads and Other Bright Moments "Most impressive throughout this set is that the soloists (all of whom are excellent) avoid sounding like any of their historical predecessors, and the band has a strong team spirit."
