Innovation with the music of Calefax

This week I attended with friends a birthday celebration of the Calefax (www.calefax.nl) reed quintet. I like their music; I enjoy their style, which I call surprising and innovative. They had invited several friends from the world of music and arts to perform on their 20th birthday. We listened to Cora Bruggraaf, who sung Kurt Weils Surabaya Johnny, accompanied by the 5 reed players. We viewed on a big screen a story of 'Keepvogel' with his dog 'Tungsten', accompanied by Raaf Hekkema on saxophone. When you can create music with living human instruments (Instrumen) you must be a genius and an artist.

The whole evening was an excellent example of how both logical and illogical elements of art, music and instrumenta can come together.
