Han

Han Bennink (drums), Willem Breuker (wood & sax) and Misha Mengelberg (piano) were among the world famous free & avant-garde jazz artists in the Netherlands in the 1970's and 1980's. They founded and played together in the [1967-1973] Instant Composers Pool (ICP). I was very lucky to witness some of their live performances.

There are a lot of nice tubes with Han Bennink. Here are some clips from the Sting JazzKlubb.

And recently I found a complete 3-track album of Han; and that is pretty rare for his type of music. This is again top-notch Dutch culty culture. All credits go to the original uploader.
1. Bumble Rumble [8MB./4:20min.]
2. Spooky Drums [40MB./26:00min.]
3. Nerve Beats [27MB./16:30min.]
