Pieter de Mast Quintet featuring Kris Goessens / 15 June
This Band recorded two CD’s (“Tracing” 2000 and “Vista” 2003) We performed from 1999 till 2007 on many stages in the Netherlands (including Bimhuis and North Sea jazz festival), Belgium and Germany. I have been really fortunate to be able to play my own compositions with these great musicians. Especially the brilliant contributions of the late Kris Goessens continues to be an inspiration. Kris will be missed both as a unique musician and personality. Kris is also featured on organ on the CD Offshore (2007) in the compositions Palo Alto and Indian Summer.
Some reviews:
- ‘das war ganz feiner jazz, der einen auf den stuhl herumrutschen liess’ HNA-Kassel Germany
- ‘some very interesting interplay..quiet intriguing’ Cadence Magazine USA
- ‘sappige flexibele sound op sopraansax, wonderbaarlijke expressie op fluit … pianist Kris Goessens, muzikale impressionist in hart en ziel voelt zich hier blijkbaar uitermate in zijn sas’ **** Luc de Baets Jazzmozaiek/België
