ELFFERICH FOUR - Biography Elfferich Four is a new dutch jazzgroup with an original repertoire. All compositions are written by Jeroen Elfferich, the drummer of the quartet. Jeroen Elfferich has played all different styles of music : pop, jazz, latin, classical and folkmusic, and this has helped him develop his own style of fusion-music. After several years Jeroen finally formed a band which can play his compositions. As a result of intensive rehearsals the band has grown together and the songs have got their definite form. By now 'Elfferich Four' already has created an original new kind of jazz which they call 'hardpopjazz'.  Their first album ELECTRICITY ( A records ARP 73046) got positive reviews all
over the world ; Modern Drummer (USA), Rhythm (UK), Jazz Hot(France) etc. In 1997 the second CD "CURIOSITY" (VIA jazz CD 992.019.2) was
released and again the critics loved it(see review JAZZNOW Dec./Jan. 97/98). The band played several festivals like the Antibes Jazz Festival in Juan-les-Pins. Peter Erskine said about the CD: "the new recording sounds terrific". The Band: Rik Fennis-guitars Eloy Wigman-saxophones Bert van der Mullen-bass Jeroen Elfferich-drums and compositions ------------------------------------------- Eloy Wigman sings his melodies on the saxophone in such a joyful, and sometimes sad way that we memorize the tune almost instantly. Rik Fennis uses his creativity, together with his jazz and rockbackground to let us enjoy some great solos. Bert van der Mullen is the steady and reliable bassplayer. He uses effects on his bass to enrich the sound of the group and to strengthen the character of the composition. Jeroen Elfferich plays the drums not only to keep time but to be a musical member of the quartet by using a lot of dynamics and improvisations. ----------------------------------------------- Information, Booking, CDs and Demos: E-mail: citi@worldonline.nl |
