GIJS HENDRIKS QUARTET
with Siegfried Kessler, Bert van Erk, Michael Baird
& guests Slide Hampton, Sonny Grey, Raul Burnet

These 1976-77 recordings are from the period with Franco-German pianist Siegfried Kessler.
This quartet was together for a year and a half. Frequent guests at the time were trombonist
Slide Hampton and trumpeter Sonny Grey - both are featured here on two tracks each. And
the legendary conga drummer Raul Burnet on one track.
Made over thirty-five years ago, these are historical recordings from a particularly creative
period of Gijs Hendriks, which were never released. Also fine playing by Slide, whose stay in
Europe was under-recorded. And we remember these wonderful musicians:
RIP Raul Burnet 1935 - 1979, Sonny Grey 1925 - 1987, Siegfried Kessler 1935 - 2007.

Recorded at Lucassound Studio, Hilversum, Holland October/November 1976 & January 1977.
Remastered from vinyl in 2012
