Emiel van Egdom; guitarist, producer, teacher, personality, autodidact, friend, human, partner, himself. A man with many faces, but always his own. For the people who know him he's a living legend... a wonderfull diamond in the rough, who will not be chained.
Ruud van Didden, Ruud's Music Magazine.
Live, every tune has it's very own different expressive charge...
Ton Pagen, writer/reporter, the Netherlands for JazzNews
When Emiel Van Egdom plugs in his guitar, the riffs, runs and scales that he will play
will reflect the influences of his European heritage
and the stylings of America's be-bop and swing greats
Brian Arrington, reporter, NY.
