Avalonia 14 May 2010

Welcome!

Challenge Records just released my new cd, Avalonia.
I'm very happy with the music, we recorded with my trio with Clemens vd Feen (bass) and Flin v Hemmen (drums). Michael Moore joined us on some tracks, very inspiring to play with him. At the moment we're in the middle of a release tour in Holland.
If you're interested in the cd, it's for sale at bol.com, iTunes, challenge records, and in a few days I'll post some info in the 'store' at this website....

The first reviewds are coming in. And I'm very happy that the critics are very good.

All best,

Harmen
