This is a very exciting last minute edition to the Sexyland programme. Dikeman, Parker, Drake are on tour for the fourth time since forming in 2014. Their recent performance at the Zomer Jazz Fiets Tour was called “an indisputable highlight” of the festival by Jazznu.com.

Opening the evening will be legendary American improvisers Jack Wright and Zach Darrup. Jack has been an inspiration to countless improvisers from the United States and abroad, earning him the nickname the Johnny Appleseed of free improvisation.

The trio of John Dikeman, William Parker and Hamid Drake was formed for Doek Festival #12. An ad hoc constellation can be hit or miss in improvised music but this trio has become much more than that, growing with each tour into a unique musical partnership. This will be their fourth European tour since that first meeting in 2014.
