The European All-Stars feat. Joe Magnarelli Tribute To The Giants Of Jazz
Line-Up:
Joe Magnarelli (USA) / trumpet
Rik van den Bergh (NED) / baritone sax
Rob Barron (UK) / piano
Marius Beets (NED) / bass
Bernd Reiter (AT) / drums

This international all-star-quintet brings together a top soloist of the New York scene and four of Europe’s most valuable and experienced musicians who share the same love: classic swinging straight-ahead jazz in the tradition of their idols and mentors such as Thad Jones, Kenny Dorham, Pepper Adams and Cedar Walton, the true “Giants of Jazz”.
Joe Magnarelli has been one of the world’s leading
trumpeters for three decades. He graduated from
SUNY-Fredonia in 1982 and moved to New York in
1986. First, he worked from 1987-89 in the Lionel
Hampton Big Band and then from 1989-94 with the
organist Brother Jack McDuff. In 1991 he founded
the New York Hard Bop Quintet and led further own
groups with John Swana and Jerry Weldon. He also
worked as a sideman with Toshiko Akiyoshi,
Laverne Butler, Harry Connick, Jr., the Buddy Rich
Band, Maria Schneider, Grant Stewart, the Vanguard
Jazz Orchestra, Ray Barretto, and many more.

His partner in the front line is Rik van den Bergh from
Rotterdam who has dedicated himself to the baritone
saxophone only. His approach is rooted in the playing of
Harry Carney, Leo Parker, Pepper Adams and Ronnie Cuber.
He builds upon this tradition that focuses on harmony,
melody, time and an overwhelming sound. As a first-call
baritone saxophonist in the Netherlands, it has not gone
unnoticed internationally that Rik is a specialist on his
instrument. He has shared the stage with, among others,
Dick Oatts, Teddy Edwards, Don Braden, Gary Smulyan, Jim
Rotondi and Ronnie Cuber. He is also a highly appreciated
teacher at the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music. https://

The rhythm section is formed by three of Europe’s most experienced and established sidemen, who have worked in various projects with many jazz legends.
Rob Barron is a mainstay of the London Jazz and Studio scene
and has been described as “one of the most creative and
versatile musicians of his generation”. Rob has played with
American artists Grant Stewart, Al Jarreau, Marlena Shaw, Patti
Austin, Curtis Stigers, Benny Golson, Terrel Stafford, Phil
Woods, Sheryl Bailey and in groups lead by leading UK artists
Jacqui Dankworth, Stacey Kent, Claire Martin, Dave O’Higgins,
Steve Fishwick, Allison Neale, Anita Wardell, Georgia Mancio
and Jean Toussaint. He also leads his own trio and his latest album, From This Moment On, was released in October 2020. BBC Music Magazine featured it as one of the best jazz releases of 2020 and gave it a 5 star review citing “This is classic piano trio jazz at it’s very best.” The album has already had over 8 million plays on digital streaming platforms. Rob also appears regularly with the BBC Big Band and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra. Since 2018 he has held the position of professor of jazz piano at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Rob’s piano style evokes a passion for the American tradition and cites Wynton Kelly, Cedar Walton and Hank Jones as major influences both in his playing and arranging style. http://www.robbarronmusic.com
The career of Marius Beets set off with great force. He became part
of young jazz bands such as the Houdini’s, the Hoogendijk/Van den
Dungen quintet and the Beets Brothers. In 1999 Marius gave a new
boost to the Rein de Graaff trio and set for several European tours
with jazz legends as Johhny Griffin, James Moody, Bud Shank, Gary
Bartz and Ronnie Cuber. Marius has an impressive discography with
over a hundred recordings. Featured artists are a.o.: Herb Geller, Jeff
