In this episode, I sit down with my long-time friend and musical colleague, the incredible pianist Bram Wijnands. While we both started our journeys studying music together in the Netherlands, Bram took a path that led him straight to the cradle of jazz: Kansas City.
Though he was born in the Netherlands, Bram has been living and playing in the US for decades, establishing himself as a true heavyweight in the Swing and Stride genres.
We go way back to our student days, trading stories about our early musical education, but we also get technical. Bram gives a masterclass explanation of Erroll Garner’s distinctive style, breaking down exactly how Garner achieved that signature lag and rhythmic drive. And he plays some of his own arrangements.
