Sprotbrough Music Society

The Tim Kliphuis Trio

Tim Kliphuis (violin), Nigel Clark (guitar), Roy Percy (bass)

Renowned Dutch jazz/swing violinist Tim and his colleagues are touring the UK and Sprotbrough are part of this!

Tim, Nigel and Roy play a boundary-crossing mix of various musical genres. Tim’s classical roots are reflected in the choice of repertoire well known to the classical world. His love for French gypsy jazz maestro Stephane Grappelli ensure a heavy dose of w=swing improvisation. Nigel brings his backgroound in Celtic folk, but also contemporary guitar techniques into the mix, while Roy’s sound recalls the various rhythms that define New Orleans street music. They describe their programme as ‘fresh from the hallowed grounds of Samois-sur-Seine, the birthplace of gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt we offer this programme of pieces by Django and his musical partner Stephane Grappelli (and stories about them) to bring a smile to all faces and get toes tapping.’ Their treatment of each piece is highly personal and might even be called ‘work in progress’. Given the improvisational character of their music every performance is a one-off event.
