Dinner Concert: Köhl & Levin Quartet x Honey Boulton

Erik Köhl and Dennis Levin have played together for 5 years in many different constellations around the Netherlands. After having played with Honey Boulton earlier this year, they decided to invite him back to the Netherlands to do a series of gigs together. Joined by clarinetist Brennan Hamilton-Smith and pianist Maarten Voortman, they form a powerful quintet playing the music they love the most! 

Honey Boulton specialises in swing and bebop guitar, and has what is drescribed by Soweto Kinsch (of BBC 3) as "...a timelessly authentic sound" After recently returning to the UK from his hometown Wellington, New Zealand, he has become a solid proponent of the musical landscape that is the London jazz scene, performing at venues such as Ronnie Scott's, Pizza Express Dean Street, The 100 Club, as well as regularly touring abroad, playing at clubs such as Duc De Lombards (Paris), and Unity Jazz Göteberg, and playing at international festivals, such as Festival Django Reinhardt. With a love of a wide breadth of styles and artists, he is able to play across the board stylistically, with a joy that is positively contagious.

Honey makes up one third of the Adrian Cox trio, and is a regular fixture in Giacomo Smith's Hot Five, and has performed with many artists such as Joe Webb, Georgia Cecile, Snorre Kirk, Deschanel Gordon and Laura Jurd.
