Jurgen Burdorf - Rhombus (2020)

When Jurgen first heard Mark Knopfler when he was nine, he decided to start playing the guitar. Others of his guitar heroes are Bill Frisell, Steve Lukather and Dutch master Eef Albers. Jurgen studied jazz guitar at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, but never became fixated on one style of music. In the course of years he played indiepop with Janne Schra (album, tour and national TV), contemporary composed music by ao Oene van Geel, Chiel Meijering en Steven Kamperman in theatre plays by Holland Opera, country in a tribute to Dolly Parton (also playing the mandolin), in musicals ‘The Lion King’, ‘Jersey Boys’ and ‘Billy Elliot’ and jazz in de show ‘From Sammy With Love’. In his spare time he likes to listen to music by Béla Bartók and Olivier Messiaen. In short, in Jurgens world there are no borders between genres and something to learn can be found everywhere.
