Robeco Jazzcafé live!

"Robeco Jazzcafe live!" is a live recording with various groups, among them the Rik Mol Quartet. This recording captures a live performance of The Rik Mol Quartet in an intimate setting, as if you were seated third row center. This live recording certainly isn't as polished as Rik's studio album "What's on Tonight?!" (highly recommended, by the way) but there sure is a lot of fun documented here. Rik has a love for jazz that shines through in this live set.

Recorded August 4, 2006 at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam.

The Rik Mol Quartet is:
Rik Mol - trumpet / flugelhorn
Rob van Bavel - piano
Jeroen Vierdag - bass
Joost Patocka - drums
