I've been in Holland for a few days preparing for the "Floating Worlds" tour with Ab Baars (tenor sax, clarinet, shakuhachi) and Ig Henneman (violin). The first gig is tonight at the famous Bimhuis in Amsterdam. Except for an excursion to Cologne, all of the dates are in Holland.
For a description of this trio and its concept, please see:
