Robben Ford meets Licks & Brains

Robben Ford and Licks & Brains

In this unique collaboration, the American guitarist Robben Ford and Dutch XL band Licks & Brains share their passion for exploring new musical paths without losing sight of genuine emotion and inspiration. They play compositions from Robben Ford’s latest album ‘Pure’, arranged by bandleader Rolf Delfos (Saxophone Quartet Artvark, Jazzinvaders) and his musical companion Erwin Hoorweg (Houdini’s, Jazzinvaders). The blues and jazz-rock with which Robben Ford has been tremendously successful will be amply heard in this concert.
