JORIS POSTHUMUS QUARTET
Alto saxophonist and composer Joris Posthumus www.jorisposthumus.com has been making music since he was six years old. He studied at the conservatories of Rotterdam and Tilburg. In 2009 Joris recorded the album 'The Abyss' together with: Sound technician Chris Weeda, pianist Jeroen van Vliet, drummer Pascal Vermeer en bass player Juriaan Dekker,(feat Tom Beek). This First album was released by record company Challenge Records in 2010 under the name Joris Posthumus Quartet.

This album presents dynamic jazz of a high NU-bop energetic quality.
The biting alto saxophone of Joris ,who,whipped up by the strong rhythm section, explores all corners of the improvisation spectrum, is characteristic for the sound of the Quartet. Another characteristic is that the melody, an important ingredient of Joris's compositions, will always sound through. Making music is all about the chemistry between the musicians. With Jeroen van Vliet, Pascal Vermeer and Juriaan Dekker, Joris feels that all-important 'click'. In this formation the band toured the Netherlands with the famous American tenor saxophonist David Murray as a guest and played at the North Sea festival, but also on other famous Dutch Jazz podiums during the Young VIPs tour, a.o. the Bimhuis in Amsterdam and "Lantaren en Venster" in Rotterdam. The album the Abyss was received with a great deal of enthusiasm by the jazz scene, in the Netherlands as well as abroad. We would like to show you two (summarised) reviews:

Launch of the CD in Paradox Tilburg
With a wink at Coltrane Posthumus regularly and convincingly produced a melodic lyric. Pianist Jeroen van Vliet and drummer Pascal Vermeer were on exactly the same wave-length after years of playing together in different formations and they were obviously enjoying themselves. Van Vliet played strong solos in his characteristic lyrical style and managed to dose them cleverly. Drummer Vermeer, too, drew attention with an inventive and rich performance. Posthumus can still grow in individuality and tone but that evening he showed us most convincingly that he is on the right road and already performs and composes at a high level. Posthumus is without a doubt a promise for the future.
Rinus van der Heijde- Jazzenzo-February .' 2010

Article NRC Handelsblad
'The Abyss' shows clearly how the chemistry, tension and interaction between Posthumus, Van Vliet, Juriaan Dekker and Pascal Vermeer are woven into a beautiful piece of work. It features nine Posthumus numbers in modern hardbop style (nu-bop), in which melody and a certain accessibility are central.'
Amanda Kuyper - NRC-Handelsblad -- March 2010
