Windstreken - Folies

The name of the Dutch band Windstreken will sound strange to non-Ducth people. It has a double meaning. Literally 'windstreken' can be translated as 'corners of the earth', but there is a playful association as well: 'wind' refers to the wind instruments the band uses.Windstreken combines jazz improvisation with medieval and contemporary classical music as well as Indian and North African traditions. The eclectic line-up of alto flute, saxophone, ud, classical organ, cello and percussion is further enhanced with the special addition of some renowned guest musicians, Nicole Jordan (soprano) and Leonard Evers (trumpet/flugelhorn).
