OLD ADAM ON TURTLE ISLAND

Old Adam on Turtle Island is led by tenor saxophonist John Dikeman, who championed free jazz out of Amsterdam for years and is currently based in Ostend. For this band he composed a song cycle about colonization and the double-edged sword of religion. Expect deep emotion and interaction by top players from Amsterdam’s improv scene: pianist Marta Warelis, bassist Aaron Lumley and drummer Sun-Mi Hong. Their debut album appeared on the New York-based label Relative Pitch Records.

BERLINDE DEMAN

Berlinde Deman earned her stripes in jazz, contemporary, and classical music, as a regular tuba player in the Flat Earth Society Orchestra and as a versatile musician in projects with Dave Douglas, the BaarsBuisDeman trio, Graindelavoix, Razen, and Machinefabriek, among others. Her quest for new soundscapes led her to the serpent, a rare 16th-century wind instrument—the mysterious precursor to the tuba. In her solo program, she combines the deep breath of this ancient instrument with the layering of loops and effects. Her first solo album will be released in the fall of 2025 on the New York label Relative Pitch Records, in which serpent and live electronics take center stage in all their rawness and subtlety.
