TV-performance of Han Bennink. Han Bennink is a Dutch jazz drummer and percussionist. He is best known as one of the pivotal figures in early European free jazz and free improvisation. Through the 1960s he drummed with a number of American musicians visiting the Netherlands, including Dexter Gordon, Wes Montgomery, Sonny Rollins and Eric Dolphy.

About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zeeland band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

After his gig with Derek Bailey in Liverpool, in March 1986, I gathered all the broken sticks I could find. I glued a couple of " blunt ends " together, and I'm glad to say I've still got that stick - my " Han Stick " ! I'm not a drummer, I hasten to point out ( am I allowed to say that, these days ? ) . Thanks.

Brilliant!
Han is one of my favourite musicians on the planet. (And he's a sweetheart of a human being, too.)
He brings more joy and swing to the music than anyone else I can think of.

[@LOS_NEGRITOS]

even if his music is hardly heartwarming at all (?)

Yes Han Bennink is amazing but who are the pianist and the violonist, don't they deserve a bit of recognition as well?!
