New project  RADIO DAYS – Wild Man Conspiracy feat. Michael Moore and Joost Buis (2018-2019)

 

Irreverent improvising Dutch trio explores sonic possibilities and pushes limits of interplay.
Red Piano Records/USA/2015

A musical undertaking that can scarcely
be compared with anything already done in this field.

The use of electronic by Gerard Kleijn is even more
effective than what one’s used to from for instance
Nils Petter Molvaer or Jon Hassel.
Jazzism (NL)/Ken Vos 2015****

A nice balance between musical tradition and playfulness
This time, in addition to the five original compositions we
get three old hits,which are a great example of
an original approach to music

Guitarist Guillermo Celano, trumpeter Gerard Kleijn and Joost Kesselaar
are established names on the Dutch jazz and improvisation scene.
Put them together in a room and something happens. And as can be expected of
better jazz: they never know quite what will happen in advance.
Volkskrant(NL)/Gijsbert Kamer – 2015

Knots is an adventurous and exciting album in which
the trio keep chasing each other’s enthousiasme
while at the same time investigating the boundlessness
of improvisation.
Jazzenzo (NL) 2015

 

This music is not for the weak hearted.
Muziekwereld (NL) 2015
