"His touch, but especially his lyrical approach of music and timbre, makes him recognizable and beloved."
Jazzflits, 25-7-2014BIOGRAPHY ESTAFEST
Four high profile improvisers of the Dutch jazz and improv scene have teamed up and formed ESTAFEST. In this unusual line up, these musicians combine their distinctive instrumental skills and sound, wrapped up in brilliant short pieces, which are shaped on stage. They actually create an atmosphere in which both the audience and the musicians go with the flow of the moment. The result is cutting edge music, exciting, hilarious and breathtaking. Anyone who has seen the group was surprised, moved, nurtured and inspired. Since the individual members of Estafest toured the world with different groups, they can't wait to bring their favorite band to an ninternational audience. In the Spring of 2014 the group will release their sophomore album 'Eno Supo' (Challenge Records), the follow up of ESTAFEST Live! (Challenge Records, 2011).

Jazzflits, 25-7-2014
Estafest treats improvised music in full width and length. Intimate fragments are pushed ingeniously together, while in the (less common) parts where the speed is slightly higher, it prooves over and over again that the fantasy of these four musicians lead to different, alsway surprising results.
Jazzenzo, 11-7-2014
After all it was not a question if, but when Van Vliet would receive the prestigious award.
Draai Om Je Oren, 01-7-2014
The strength of this album lies in the wealth of ideas and great music. Jazz, chamber music and folk blend effortlessly together.

‘Eno Supo’ is an exciting album that gets even more impressive, after a few times listening

Very special what these gentleman made here. quite different than their normal surroundings but I dare to say that this is one of the best jazz albums of the year!

But this second album has moments ranging from tranquil beauty to lavish collective improvisations.
Nederlands Dagblad, 01-5-2014
Not often do we hear four talented artists play so strong together, and step outside of their comfort zone.. For that reason, this record is perhaps the most impressive I've heard this year in the jazz field.
Pat sounds blogspot, 27-4-2014
The quartet members layer and weave their music in a way to give it a fullness that might indicate a sound from a larger ensemble. Even the moments of dissonance have a certain ambiance that isn’t abrasive and allows for moments of sheer beauty to spring forth. Just a gorgeous album.
Wondering Sounds, 24-4-2014
The pieces are alternately impressionistic, melancholic and menacing.
De Volkskrant, 23-4-2014
This album presentation from Estafest was a special experience that makes you curious for more.
Jazzenzo, 23-4-2014
The wooly basis of the piano, the repetitive notes of the tenor saxophone and a victory dance of violin and guitar; These are the moments that Estafest peaks.
