"Jaap Blonks voice-art has an important place in this trio with double bass player Jan Nijdam and alto saxophonist, clarinettist Bart Van Der Putten. Nijdam worked with Cor Fuhler, Van Der Putten played with Ig Henneman and works with the Bik Bent Braam and "Splinks", another big group of Blonk. In this trio Blonk sings in existing and non-existing languages, for example "Scientific German", "Almost English" and "Inside - out Dutch". With his voice he makes sudden u-turns and switches register as easily as a saxophone player. The trio started playing in 1990. From the beginning the trio was able to create it's own sound world. The musicians understand each other without the need for explaination. Intuitively they switch direction as one, go into fierce discussions, discover idyllic landscapes, play limping rhythms or dive into lyrical pursuits all this in pure sound." (Bandcamp)
"Her compositions inspire performances which are anything but ordinary, the collective improvising often breathtaking. The balance between melody and abstraction, rhythmic drive and ballad tones, keep it all sounding brilliantly right. In Grassetto feautures exciting bass clarinet Hein Pijnenburg, with Bart van der Putten's alto, Wilbert de Joode's bass, and Fred van Duynhoven's drums. They execute Henneman's turns magnificently. The leader has an original touch on viola." --Doug Lang CODA Magazine 1999." (Bandcamp)
