THE SIDEWINDERS in NYC SKATE FILM SOUNDTRACK

Feb 28, 2021
New York filmmaker Greg Navarro just finished his skateboarding video about the Upper West Side Curb Club in Manhattan. And our version of Duke Pearson's classic 'Sweet Honey Bee' is part of the soundtrack!

The video plays in Thrasher, the biggest skate magazine in the world. Over 60,000 views in a couple of days and still counting...  One of the comments reads 'Wow the jazz push to front slappy to jazz music is some big brain shit'. Well said, nothing to add.

Soul jazz. We love it! The sensation caused by soul jazz fifty years ago, we bring it all back live on stage now with our Amsterdam based quintet The Sidewinders.

We play the best compositions of our heroes from the famous Blue Note label (Horace Silver, Cannonball Adderley, Hank Mobley) in the classical line up of trumpet, tenorsax and rhythm section. And our own compositions in the same vein. Music from the beginning of the sixties, when modern jazz was influenced by gospel, latin and boogaloo and became funky. The groove as tight as the drainpipe-trousers, and the solo’s as pointed as the shoes!


We played the International Jazz Festival in Havana Cuba (Jazz Plaza 2020), legendary clubs like the Melkweg (Jazzbop hosted by dj Graham B) and the North Sea Jazz Club, Goois Jazz Festival, Paris cafe's, lots of parties.
 

Matthijs Willemsen - trumpet

Eldert van Oosten - tenor saxophone

Bart van Os - Wurlitzer piano

Marijn Mees - bass

Kees van Herk - drums
