JORIS POSTHUMUS GROUP
TOKYO’S BAD BOYS holland tour 2017

Energetic band from the lively jazz scene of Tokyo, brought together by Joris Posthumus, with as many as three saxophonists.‘A wonderful album full of steaming collectives and sparkling solos’ (Jazzism).

‘The Japanese jazz scene is alive and booming’, says alto saxophonist Joris Posthumus, who during a Far East tour with the band State of Monc became friends with his colleague Yuichiro Tokuda from Tokyo. Joris toured Japan with Yuichiro’s band,’ a fantastic experience” according to the Dutch saxophonist.

In 2015 it was Joris’s turn to invite the Japanese saxophonist for concerts in Holland and Belgium, ‘a bombardment of speed, technique, emotion and surprise’, according to Jazznu. Shortly after these concerts Joris travelled to Japan again to go into a recording studio with a ‘dream team’ from Tokyo. The album TOKYO’S BAD BOYS, released in September 2016 on the Challenge Records label, was received with enthusiasm and was followed by an extensive tour in Japan. Now is the time for Tokyo’s Bad Boys to come and be Bad in Holland.
