Here’s a short excerpt from my solo on Top Dog.
The clip is from a concert during a Traeben tour two years ago. I am always having fun playing with these guys!
Haye Jellema – Drums
Olaf Meijer – Doublebass
Søren Ballegaard – Sax
Jens Larsen – Guitar Top Dog (J.Larsen)
We had a really great time performing for packed venues!
Here are some pictures from the concerts!
As you may or may not know we are going out for a few concerts with Træben!
Hope to see you out there!
Here’s a video from our last tour in February:
Review by Coen De Jonge:
“..Melodies as clear as a sunrise and a playfulness that floats through all the pieces..”
4 stars!
We just got this great review by Frank Huser in the Dutch Jazz Magazine JazzFlits
“A typical Træben disc, as it is again fresh, sharp, strong, passionate, adventurous, sincere and passionate…” Frank Huser
Can’t wait to play the release concert this Friday 19/9/14!

I am very proud to announce that my song Top Dog has received honorable mentions at the international songwriting contest 2013! Quite an achievement since the international songwriting contest has a total of more than 20.000 entries.
Here’s a recording of the song from the 2012 Træben album “Push”:

I came across this review of my presentation and performance at the Dutch AxeFest 2013 on the G66 website.
“No more questions, but all the more enthusiastic applause after he finished playing one of his songs with no backing track, just his fantastic tone. Very impressive!”
I came across this video yesterday from over concert in November. It’s a pretty good version of my song Catatraffic from Push. If you want to skip to the guitar solo it starts around 3:30.
It’s a great video even if they can’t spell the band name 🙂
Hope you like it!
