Vincent Houdijk

is a virtuous and versatile Dutch percussionist, who is specialized in melodic percussion. Houdijk has an inquisitive attitude, always curious about various kinds of musical collaborations. Vincent Houdijk is an inspiring and joyful music artist and teacher with an even so open mind.

“Vincent Houdijk is a vibraphonist for the 21st century. At times calming, at other times energetic and inventive, he seems to be trying to redefine the place of the instrument in contemporary jazz. Even more commendable is that he manages to do this without the benefit of modern sound-manipulating computer software; instead, VinnieVibes' unique European flair is deployed, both in the studio and on stage. While comparisons to vibes greats such as Bobby Hutcherson and Milt Jackson are unfair today, there is no doubt that the talented young vibraphonist deserves and aspires to one day achieve the kind of recognition they enjoyed.” (Peter Hoetjes, allaboutjazz.com)
