JANUARY 2023 - My good friend Jelle van der Meulen, who is a fantastic pianist, has released his debut album this month. We recorded the music in December 2021. I am very thankful he asked me to contribute to his album on four tracks. This album consists of all originals by Jelle and it is a beautiful representation of Jelle's talent as a composer and serious player.

MARCH 31, 2022 - ''Picking up my new Bb trumpet made by my friend Mark Geelen, who is a fantastic trumpet player and craftsman! With an eye for detail and quality Mark has developed his own ideas into a new line of trumpets that are truly unique. The sound is so rich in colours that I can direct it in any way my imagination wants it to go. The feel of the trumpet makes me relaxed and to just let the horn sing. Mark looks at the person behind the instrument and builds a trumpet that allows the unique qualities of the player come out. This instrument is the best Bb trumpet I've played on. There is a lot of heart put into the making of it and that quality is defenitely shining through! ''
