about

New Blues from Europe, the Americas, Asia, Australia & Africa

Marcel Worms has already been engaged for a long time in the modern-classical repertory which has been influenced by jazz. Because of the prominent position of the Blues in jazz it seemed an attractive idea to him to commission a number of Dutch composers to write him a Blues or blueslike piece.

The first series of Blues was ready by the end of 1996 and was premiered at the BIMHUIS, the foremost jazz stage in Amsterdam. From then on composers from countries where Marcel Worms gave concerts were also invited to write a contribution to the project. A second series of Blues from different countries was premiered in the Icebreaker, Centre for modern music in Amsterdam in December 1997. At this moment there are some 180 new Blues from about 50 different countries. In almost all of these countries Marcel Worms has performed his blues program. From them one can get an idea of what the Blues means nowadays for the contemporary composer. From the comparison of Blues by composers from different countries the different cultural backgrounds will reveal themselves quite clearly.

Most of the Blues are composed note by note but in some of them the performer is supposed to improvise.
