Preparations for solo / duo / trio performances underway. Bart Flos reunites and plays with Laurens Smals on drums again!

Recently Bart Flos musically joined with Laurens Smals again in a reunion like event to set up a Bart Flos Duo (piano and drums). Laurens was drummer during the early years of the Sonic Blast Big (early nineties) and also played on numerous occasions in jazz quartet and quintets in that same period. They hid it off on Saturday the 21st of April and are currently working on a balanced set of originals and jazz standards. New rehearsals are planned for June.

Bart also stays in contact with Koen Reesink (drums) and Ronald Bonel (bass) for future adventures in duo and trio Jazz.

Juliana Prom Concerts April 2001 in Waalre, Noord Brabant. This year two nights in a row!

Like last year, Bart Flos again joined the "Harmonie Juliana Prom Orchestra" and "Bakerstreet Theater Band". The preparations started January / February 2001. This year it was set to give a marvellous concert two nights in a row: Friday the 6th and Saturday the 7th of April. About a 1000 people in the audience, a total of about 100 musicians in the Orchestra and 10 musicians in the Bakerstreet Theater Band guaranteed a splendid full night of music in different styles. "Harmonie", classical, jazz big band, pop music: everybody could find something of his or her liking.

Reasons for Bart to join these kind of musical projects. "I think reasons are threefold. It’s a local event but handled in a professional way, it challenges me to study written down music again that is part of greater whole and last but not least: I am one out of 100 musicians in stead of being in the lead. Besides that: it’s a lot of fun too!"
