Durium Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Everybody has heard about the American Songbook; it inspired generations of jazz musicians. But what about the Dutch musical heritage? Do we have a Dutch Songbook? Jan Menu and Jasper Soffers wondered that, put their heads together and selected almost a dozen Dutch tunes that should be part of their Dutch Songbook. If you listen to the album, you wonder .. Why wasn't this done before? The arrangements sound fresh and new and I think that it's only a matter of time, but once foreign jazz bands may swap roles and make albums dedicated to the Dutch Songbook!
