Maarten Combrink Quintet / Micah Graves Quintet

Rough Diamonds

The Conservatory of Amsterdam is bursting with young, enthusiastic musicians who develop all kinds of interesting initiatives. From May 21 to the end of June, the Bimhuis stage will be the setting for these Rough Diamonds, with several bands per evening, free of charge to the public.

Maarten Combrink Quintet

In a world where high frequencies predominate, the Maarten Combrink Quintet delves into the low vibrations, in the form of the special combination of trombone and bass clarinet. The quintet plays compositions by all band members, with a unique role for these instruments, which can vary enormously in sound, register and timbre.

Micah Graves Quintet

The Micah Graves Quintet is a refreshing sound in the contemporary jazz scene. Based on his musical background (gospel, funk, R&B, folk and jazz), Graves writes compositions with personal lyrics written by Graves himself. The band starts from a jazz background with plenty of room for the individual strengths of the band members.
