The
Netherlands is known for many things, windmills, for example, tulips
and wooden shoes, but blues? And yet one of the most prominent blues
musicians of our time comes from there: we are talking about Hans
Theessink, who was born on April 5, 1948, in Enschede and who got the
blues fever on a school day, after he had Big Bill Broonzey and Huddie
“Leadbelly” Ledbetter had heard on the radio.
From
then on, there was no holding back, the young Hans started playing the
guitar, released his first album “Next Morning At Sunrise” in 1970 and
extensively toured Europe. Well, after more than 7,000 concerts over
more than 40 years of stage presence as well as more than 30 albums,
Hans Theessink is well known in blues and worldwide. The most famous
Dutch blues musician and now lives in Vienna.
Here
he also plays his traditional (three) “New Year’s Concerts” in the
prestigious jazz club “Jazzland”, so it happened at the turn of the year
2011-2012 on December 31, 2011, and on February 1 and 2, 2012.
Fortunately, the last of the three concerts were recorded by the couple
Dirk Sommer and Birgit Hammer-Sommer from Sommelier du Son.
Listening
to Hans Theessink live is a breathtaking experience; only very few
artists have a similar presence. Full of fun and energy, he plays ten
songs here, just guitar and vocals, occasionally a little harmonica or
foot-tapping, creating a denser atmosphere than most bands. He just got
it, the blues. In addition to his own compositions and classics, there
are also songs from Soul, R & B, or RocknRoll, but Theessink manages
in his incomparable way to make their blues roots stand out clearly.
So
the concert and thus the album is all about the Delta blues and old
heroes like Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy (to whom the song “Big Bills
Guitar” is dedicated) or Sonny Boy Williamson. The concert recording
itself took place at great expense, ranging from deliberate microphone
to a “clean” power supply with special network synchronizers and network
conditioners. But it has more than paid off, the sound quality is
outstanding and the often-tried phrase from the concert in the living
room is really true. The concert atmosphere can be relived in a vivid
and nuanced way – not only the audiophile connoisseur will appreciate
the efforts of Sommelier du Son here. Thus, this is a real treat in both
musical and audiophile respects.
Recorded on Saturday, February 2, 2013, at the wonderful Jazzland Jazz Club in Vienna, Austria.
