Oh Baby - Climax Jazz Band with Draga & Meijers 1996
I don't think you can get it more exciting than this. Bob Draga and Pieter Meijers decided to do a feature for two clarinets. A real good tune for such a feature is Oh Baby, with an interesting chord change pattern together with a swinging tempo.
There is not much more to say than that these two masters gave it a go not easily being surpassed by any band anywhere.
Even during short discussions in between playing, spectacular and original head arrangements were executed with perfection. Both Bob and Pieter have an incredible sense of harmonizing on the spot, it almost seems automatic, but don't take this for granted.
Years of practice, understanding of the concept, sympathy for each other and on top "TALENT". All this together with the support of our excellent rhythm group. Jack Vincken banjo, Chris Daniels bass and Jamie Aug drums.
