Jungle Boldie

Jungle Boldie, formerly known as the Tony Overwater Trio consists of three top jazz musicians from The Netherlands, whose main goal it is to enjoy playing music, to perform without any assumptions and to make ‘free’ music in the true sense of the word. They met at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague during their studies and performed together in various settings ever since. And as outstanding as a trio, just as impressive are the individual careers of these gifted artists.
Tony Overwater, a virtuoso bassist - who received the VPRO/Boy Edgar Prize (thé Dutch jazz award) in 2003 and was nominated for the Bird Award the same year, is also a highly acclaimed composer, whose musical interests range from jazz to improvised and world music. Reed player and composer Maarten Ornstein masters both (bass)clarinet and tenor saxophone and is famous for his special sound and his contributions to modern jazz and improvised music. Wim Kegel is considered one of Holland’s most remarkable drummers, developing a unique style combining jazz tradition with a personal and progressive approach.
The group performed with many international artists like Pat Metheny, Ilse de Lange, Ack van Rooyen, Calefax, and David Murray.
