Mike Roelofs: Carte Noire II

On December 7, 2008, another Carte Noir concert of Mike Roelofs was organized in café Thembi in Maastricht. I saw the first half of this concert and what I saw and heard was really good. This time Roelofs was accompanied by saxophonist Dick de Graaf, double bass player Werner Lauscher , and drummer Dennis Frehse. For me the highlights of this afternoon concert were the versions of the jazz standards 'Lament' (J.J. Johnson) and 'Bolivia' (Cedar Walton). I think I witnessed a high standard performance at Thembi. Hopefully this café is willing to organize a follow up of this concert series in 2009.
