It has been an exciting period leading towards the release of the new album (Leaving Traces) and shortly after also the release of the video for the song Chasin' Rainbows. I thought it would be nice to share some of the thoughts behind the piece and how this translates itself in the video...
This is where it all started, the first song ever written for this project! A passionate piece composed by Dirk with lyrics by me about "starting all over again". This song is not on the album.
Live at the Comedy Theater, Amsterdam (oktober 26, 2014).
Line up: Dirk Balthaus - piano / Eran Har Even - guitar / Marco Zenini - double bass / Efraim Schulz-Wackerbarth - drums / Sietske Roscam Abbing - voice
On november 26th the band was invited to play a part of our release tour program at Radio 6, their weekly live show presented by Mijke van Wijk (Mijke & Co Live!). We had the honor of sharing the stage with a.o. Texan trumpeter Roy Hargrove and Ben Herman, one of Dutch most active saxophone players. It was a full house and a great vibe! Here's a a compilation video of this evening.
