Since 2003 Willem van Eekeren has been raising quite a few eyebrows with his project Bach-Bukowski. His lyrics are taken directly from Charles Bukowski’s The Last Night of the Earth Poems and his melodies from the Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach. ‘The result is moving and more honest than all the Bach arrangements made by the slick Hilliards, Jacques Loussiers and Swingle Singers of this world’ (de Volkskrant). ‘Bach is played gracefully, different than you might expect, more jazzy’ (Dutch novelist Marchen ‘t Hart). The CD Walking and Living Through This will be presented at the Bimhuis by author and jazz connoisseur Bernlef.

Ticket: € 10
