North Sea Jazz Classics
The North Sea Jazz Festival is the largest indoor music festival in the world, known globally as the event where the past, present and future of jazz are featured within three days. Next to a firm base of jazz as the festival's staple music genre, many others, such as blues, soul, funk, or hip hop, pass by. In 1986, an alto sax choir consisting of Bob Wilber, Marshall Royal, Piet Noordijk, Lee Konitz, Sonny Fortune, Julius Hemphill, Carlos Ward, Richie Cole, and Paquito D'Rivera performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Hague. They were accompanied by a rhythm section of the decorated pianist and bandleader Hank Jones, bassist Jimmy Woode and drummer Clyde Lucas.
