Glerum Omnibus at Bimhuis

Omnibus displays the versatility of double bassist Ernst Glerum (ICP Orchestra, among others). Swing, bop and soul jazz, with predominantly original compositions. ‘Vital and accessible’ (de Volkskrant).

Until recently, Ernst Glerum played piano in his Omnibus trio.

Ernst Glerum is a mainstay in Dutch jazz and improvised music as the double bassist in, among others, ICP Orchestra and the Benjamin Herman Trio. ‘Glerum always remains curious, especially while playing with these young fanatics. With Handful he presents a truly contemporary version of jazz in a piano trio format’ (Groene Amsterdammer).
