"... Here are four gifted narrators at work... Composition and freedom in the improvisational design are balanced on a high level..."
Jazz' n More, 01-5-2022Wolfert Brederode started playing classical piano and violin at the age of seven. In his early teenage years he also discovered pop- and jazz music and started composing his own music.
In 1999 he graduated with honors from the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, where he had been studying with ao Frans Elsen, Albert Brussee and Rob van Kreeveld.
Wolfert has since then developed into one of the most prominent and authentic voices on the Dutch jazz scene. His refined and focused touch, the concern for natural flow, his openness and a relentless search for new horizons are characteristic features of his music.
He debuted with groups such as Nimbus, the Wolfert Brederode Quintet and Trio, Binary Orchid, Duo Lijbaart/Brederode and Batik. Later he founded his lauded international quartet with Claudio Puntin, Mats Eilertsen and Samuel Rohrer. Ensembles of current interest are Ruins and Remains, a project with drummer Joost Lijbaart and the Matangi Quartet, duo Ella Zirina/Wolfert Brederode and duo Lijbaart/Brederode. As a leader he recorded four albums for ECM Records. His latest album is Ruins and Remains which has been released in September 2022 on ECM and has been rewarded with the Edison Jazz Award in 2023.
As a much in demand sideman Wolfert has been working extensively with ao Susanne Abbuehl, Yuri Honing Acoustic Quartet, Celano/Baggiani/Badenhorst/Brederode and Kika Sprangers’s No Man’s Land. Both as a sideman and with his own ensembles he recorded several albums, and toured and performed at festivals throughout Europe, North- and South America, Canada, Asia, Australia and Africa. Four albums on which he collaborated have been awarded with an Edison Award. Wolfert has furthermore worked with artists such as David Liebman, Arve Henriksen, Mark Feldman, Tore Brunborg, Ack van Rooyen, Jeanne Lee, Mathias Eick, Michel Portal and Marilyn Mazur.

... Here are four gifted narrators at work... Composition and freedom in the improvisational design are balanced on a high level...
Jazz' n More, 01-5-2022
... In contrast to the first film "Lily & Marleen" (2018), the new tracks appear the new tracks in the larger line up seem even more open and versatile.
Inmusic, 05-4-2022
... add Wolfert Brederode as a gifted improviser on the piano and let their detailed compositions and improvisations resound in lyrical intimacy...
NaDann, 25-3-2022
... Elegant melodies peel out of stumbled sequences of beats, great melancholic themes grow out of quiet banter, enigmatic voices murmur and lament, tribal beats seek their way in the diffuse sonic interference fire of manipulated saxophone and manipulated guitars...
NDR Kultur Cd of the week, 04-3-2022
On this beautiful album we hear four masters working in perfect harmony. The album Carnet Imaginaire grabs you, pulls you in and won't let go until the end.
SK Jazz, 25-8-2022
... Between pointillist sound fabrics and more straightforward structures, wind player Joachim Badenhorst, drummer Marcos Baggiani, guitarist Guillermo Celano and Brederode create organically pulsating soundscapes that can be classified somewhere between chamber jazz and more experimental styles...
Concerto, 01-6-2022
... The pieces take their time, the spaces breathe deeply. There are free, lyrical breaks, sometimes a relaxed fusion feeling, then again adventurous detours and also a touch of imaginary exoticism...
Jazzthing 06 2022, 27-5-2022
... And so the music lives from a lot of spontaneously appearing design, from reinventing melody sequences, which cover everything from beautiful to abstract...
Musikansich, 20-3-2022
... The individual tracks are performed perfectly, with an authentic message and at the highest artistic level. The production and the sound of the album also deserve recognition.
