Duo Han Bennink & Jelle Roozenburg | Bonsai Panda – Tout Galore 2024

Pure improvisation

Han Bennink and Jelle Roozenburg played together for the first time a few years ago at the invitation of the RAUW Rotterdam festival. A new duo was born. In April 2023, they recorded a live vinyl record in collaboration with JIN Vinyl Club and Galloway Studio, Live at Galloway Studio on Sound of Niche Records. The duo takes the stage blank and improvises its way, from free improvisations to idiosyncratic interpretations of standards. Everything can pass by.

Jelle Roozenburg & Han Bennink Live At Galloway Studio by Jelle Roozenburg, Han Bennink In a fit of total delusions of grandeur, Bonsai Panda, directed by the notorious duo Jelle Roozenburg and Louk Boudesteijn, presents their self-proclaimed best work to date: the grandiose, absurdist, surrealist masterpiece TOUT GALORE.

The Pandas' sixth album is like a fever dream in which you are picked up, reassured, knocked down and helped up again. Averse to all trends, the Pandas unperturbedly roll out their own plan between two extremes, the small, cultivated and more stylized (Bonsai) and the uncontrolled, wild, playful (Panda).

Music that is taken over by the subconscious at the moment it is played; They call it Short Term Memory Music. Everything performed by an absolute star cast.
