Bram Stadhouders (b.1987 in Tilburg, Netherlands), has been called the most interesting guitartalent of The Netherlands. His style is atmospheric, lyrical and experimental, and he uses guitar and technology to create ambiental worlds of emotional focus. With his many projects, he always manages to capture the attention of listeners and press, and at the age of 21 he was elected as "Young VIP" by the Dutch jazz association in 2008. With his own projects he toured extensively all over the Netherlands, Europe and the USA, and he is also regularly invited as a guest-musician in international projects with some of the worlds most established improvisers, like Terje Isungset from Norway (playing ice-guitar), Grzech Piotrowski from Poland. He released five CDs with his own projects, one of them as a trio with widely known Sidsel Endresen and Jim Black. In 2012 he got elected for the international program Take Five Europe, and in the same year he was the youngest composer ever to win the prestigious North Sea Jazz Festival Composition Assignment which he realized together with the Netherlands Chamber Choir. He named the result Henosis, and this CD is the recording of the première concert. Bram is on an endless quest for unexpected challenges to broaden his musical vision and push his music in new directions.
