The quintet of pianist Daahoud Salim recently won the B-Jazz International Contest 2017, and he was praised for his perfomance: ‘… all other members of the band were given space to follow their own musical ideas, excellent arrangements, good technique and the joy of playing.’
Daahoud is a very appreciated Grachtenfestival musician with amazing performances. In 2015 he won the Grachtenfestival Conservatorium Concours, and as a jazz en classical pianist he is very versatile. For the festival of 2017 he wrote the composition assignment for violinist Rosanne Philippens.
He never played with his quintet on the festival, so don’t miss this concert in the historical Machinegebouw.
