JESSE VAN RULLER - EUROPEAN QUINTET

Review by Mavis & Erik Schlichtmann

Jesse van Ruller's album, European Quintet, is a perfect blend of jazz and classical music. The album features a talented group of musicians who bring their unique styles and energy to each track. The guitar work of van Ruller is impeccable, and his solos are both technically impressive and emotionally engaging.

The album opens with "Blues for European People," a lively track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The rhythm section of drummer Martijn Vink and bassist Clemens van der Feen provides a solid foundation for the soloists to shine. Pianist Harmen Fraanje and saxophonist Joris Roelofs also deliver standout performances throughout the album.

One of the highlights of the album is the title track, "European Quintet." The piece features a beautiful melody and showcases the ensemble's ability to play together as a cohesive unit. Another standout track is "Boulevard," which features a hauntingly beautiful guitar solo by van Ruller.
