Marnix Busstra
MB’s Old School Band

Guitarist/composer Marnix Busstra and bassist Norbert Sollewijn Gelpke go way back. They met no less than forty-five years ago in kindergarten, and they went to the same elementary school and high school, where they started their first band, Topaz.

After that came the bands Last Resort (playing the 1987 North Sea Jazz Festival) and Second Vision, the latter a successful group both nationally and abroad. More recently, they collaborated in their Ode to Sco project, a tribute to the man who may well be the most influential jazz guitarist of the past three decades, John Scofield. This project was the debut for the current Old School Band lineup, with drummer Mark Stoop and keyboardist Eric van de Bovenkamp.

Inspired by the Ode to Sco concerts, Marnix sat down to write an extended repertoire with the specific sound and qualities of this quartet in mind.

Each of these four musicians is considered an authority in the Old School Bands style of music, in which the advanced, yet completely in-the-pocket grooves of bassist Norbert and drummer Mark, and Erics creative rhythmical approach perfectly link to Marnix’ distinctive guitar solos.

In brief? First-class jazz with a solid touch of funk: Old School at its best! The release of the first Old School Band album is scheduled for 2016.
