The first is the ICP Tentet « Tetterettet » with rare appearance from Gilius Van Bergeyk, Peter Bennink and also Alan Silva and John Tchicai to name a few.

The second cd reissue is the fantastic trio of Dudu Puckwana, Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink, the great meeting between south African saxophonist and the two co-founders of the ICP.

I have also recently discovered this limited edition cd only available through the record store Downtownmusicgallery. It is a live performance done in 2012 in the store with Adam Lane, Oliver Lake, Viny Golia and Ross Hammond. Obviously it is a limited 100 copies cd.

VARA STUDIOS - HILVERSUM - BOOKER ERVIN QUARTET & VAN BERGEIJK QUARTET (1966/67)

Here are two shorter recordings from the 1960s made in the Vara Studios.
Recently I became (finally) aware that the Vara Studios in Hilversum (Netherlands) were the location for many  important recordings. I do not know anything about it - but maybe someone can shed some light on this topic. Also Gilius van Bergeijk is almost unknown to me. He was born in Den Haag on November 7, 1946. Today he is working as a composer but in the sixties and seventies he has worked as a Jazz musician. Peter Brötzmann and the glorious ICP were then stations in his development.
Booker Ervin needs no introduction...the same goes for Han Bennink.......
