Wouter Schueler created a video clip of footage he shot at some gigs we did with Sinas over the past 2 years. I see a lot of memorable moments and memories of nice gigs and a lot of fun! It’s always a pleasure to be on the road with these guys!!

The song is a remix by Kareem Raïhani of “Amsterdam Tango”.

Here is a video recorded on 20th of march ‘09 in ‘de Badcuyp‘ in Amsterdam. The band I’m playing with here is called ‘Sinas‘. A band which is formed by Wouter Schueler (sax). We used to play monthly shows in this nice little venue on the ‘Albert Cuyp‘. It was the lab where we tried out new things and new songs.  On this video however we play a song called ‘64′ which we didn’t play for a very long time.. I had to dig very deep in my memory to remember the theme as Wouter decided on the spot that he wanted to play that song. Featuring Joost Kroon (drums), Hassie Dune (bass), Jos de Haas & Frank (“Dokkie”) van Dok (percussion) and Jan Wouter Oostenrijk (guitar).

From that same session here is a video of a tune called “Spanish Rider”. This song also appears on the album ‘Global Explorations‘ which we released in the fall of 2008.

In this video of 23-11-’07 I play in the same venu (de Badcuyp), But here with my own band. However of the original line-up there’s only Marc Bien (guitar). But still we have an all-star line up with Srefan Kruger (Zuco 103) on drums, Aram Kersbergen (Ilse de Lange, Trijntje Oosterhuis, Kane) and Sven Figee on Hamond Organ and keys. The song is called “Miles High” which appears as an ‘hidden track’ on my ‘Reboot Your Soul‘ album, and was our standard set-opener of all the gigs we did. This song was inspired by Miles’ ‘In a Silent Way‘…

We (SInas) zijn genomineerd voor de Edison publieksprijs voor onze cd: “Global explorations”.
Help ons door op ons te stemmen om tot de laaste drie te gaan behoren, om uiteindelijk die nummer 1 plek te pakken.
