Classically trained Dutch violinist Tim Kliphuis first made his name playing with the fiery European gypsy guitarists,before developing a more personal style that has taken him on a busy touring schedule around the world. Now widely regarded as the inheritor of the Stéphane Grappelli crown, Kliphuis breathes new life into existing styles with his high-energy brand of Classical, Gypsy Jazz, Celtic and World music. His improvised sound is totally new, yet steeped in tradition.
Following a much-acclaimed debut Artsreach tour last spring, Tim Kliphuis and tops Scots Nigel Clark (guitar) and Roy Percy (bass) return to Dorset this March to visit five venues across the County. The trio will perform tunes from their latest CD ‘The Grappelli Album’, along with jazz hits from the Django Reinhardt years and beautiful Grappelli compositions.Their electrifying performances have made them firm favourites at many festivals including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Edinburgh Jazz Festival and Fiddles On Fire, andtheirprofoundly musical blend of styles and mesmerising improvisations has captured the hearts of audiences round the globe. Be sure not to miss them this spring!
