Album Notes

"Liquid Lefty is a band who's music really transcends boundaries and time. One moment it's spacial and soaring, the next, it's earthy and driving… The variety and blend of sounds give the listener a real multi-layered experience across a broad musical landscape. Melodies weave in and around each other while the gigantic grooves keep everything fundamentally funky! These guys, and gal keep the energy up throughout this entire set, and just when you think you know where things are going, Lefty grabs you by the ear and takes you somewhere else… Do yourself a favor, go right out and dig Liquid Lefty, you'll be glad you did!" (Chris Cheek - Rudder)

The band was founded by sister and brother Jelske Hoogervorst (saxophone) and Pieter Hoogervorst (bass). They push their music into new directions, from jazz, to trance and further. Mixing electronic jazzvamps and morphing soundscapes with interactive movements, looking for new concepts of jazz. For those who love jazz, dance, trance, ambient, and all hybrid styles: come and join the ride with Liquid Lefty!

Pieter and Jelske (brother and -sister) write most of their music together. In July 2010 they received a prize at the North Sea Jazz Festival for FrozenFish, chosen as Best Composition at the Dutch Jazz Competition 2010.
